Adalah: Launch immediate, independent probe into Israeli police violence against Arab citizens
Bloody images from Umm al-Fahm protest prove yet again that Israeli police continue to perceive – and to relate to – Palestinian Arab citizens as an enemy.
Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel responded on Friday, 26 February 2021, to the extreme violence employed by Israeli police forces during a legitimate protest by Palestinian citizens of Israel in the city of Umm al-Fahm:
“The bloody images from Umm al-Fahm prove once again that the Israeli police continue to perceive – and to relate to – Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel as an enemy. An independent investigation must be launched immediately into all command levels involved in the Israeli police’s violent actions over the past number of weeks, which include the use of force and weapons against demonstrators in legitimate protests and the killing of civilians by police in Tamra.”
