Ayman Odeh: Reckless manslaughter charge in killing of autistic Palestinian is ‘contemptible’
Joint List leader MK Ayman Odeh says an indictment of reckless manslaughter in the case of the police officer who fatally shot the autistic Palestinian man Iyad Halak is “a contemptible and infuriating charge that allows any Palestinian who a cop or a soldier doesn’t like to be killed.”
Odeh says the real justice for Halak would be “ending the occupation.”
