Israel’s designation of six Palestinian civil society groups as “terrorist organisations” is an unjustified attack and should be immediately revoked, UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet says
UN human rights chief called for the move to be immediately revoked, saying it would have"a chilling effect" on human rights, obstructing the"crucial work" the rights groups perform for Palestinians.
"Claiming rights before a UN or other international body is not an act of terrorism, advocating for the rights of women in the occupied Palestinian territory is not terrorism, and providing legal aid to detained Palestinians is not terrorism," said Bachelet. The Jewish state said its move last week was due to their alleged financing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine .The UN human rights chief said the decision was an attack on human rights defenders, on freedoms of association, opinion and expression and on the right to public participation.
