STORYLINE

Mai Afana, 29, a Palestinian woman killed by Israeli forces on 16 June 2021 according to the Palestinian health ministry.

Since that time, Israel has held Afana's body and refused to return it to her family.

Israel currently holds the bodies of 67 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since 2015, according to the Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights Center (JLAC). In 2017, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled that the state has no legal basis to withhold bodies. It reversed course in 2019 and upheld the government’s policy to withhold bodies of individuals affiliated with Hamas and those who had killed or wounded Israelis.
