Demonstrators support Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq outside Royal Courts of Justice over challenge to UK government


The Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq filed a claim for judicial review before the High Court of England and Wales challenging the government's failure to fulfill its obligations with respect to Israel’s activities in Palestine. They call upon the government to publicly denounce Israel's actions in Gaza and in the continuing construction of the wall, to suspend arms related exports and government, military, financial and ministerial assistance to Israel and to UK companies exporting arms and military technology and to insist the EU suspends preferential trading with Israel until that country complies with its human rights obligations. They also ask that the government should give the police any evidence of war crimes committed by any Israelis who intend to come to the UK. A small group of demonstrators were outside the court to support the application on Tuesday.
