APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Ramallah – 11 June 2021. Palestinians protest demanding to hand over the bodies of Palestinians detained by the Israeli army, in the village of Silwad, near Ramallah in the West Bank.
STORYLINE
Israeli authorities have escalated the policy of withholding the bodies of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces or settlers, claiming that funerals of Palestinians had provided grounds for “incitement” against Israel.
Dozens of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces are still withheld in Israeli mortuaries despite calls by human rights groups on Israel to release them.
