Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office written question – answered at on 25 January 2021.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the conviction of Issa Amro by a military court in Israel.
Officials from our Consulate-General in Jerusalem attended Mr Amro's court hearing on 6 January. The UK remains concerned about the challenges facing human rights defenders and human rights organisations operating in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We continue to urge the Israeli Government to fully respect the fundamental rights and freedoms of human rights defenders and organisations. We have also raised concerns with the Palestinian Authority about the narrowing of space for civil society to operate in the West Bank.
