Former head of the UN commission into the Gaza summer conflict William Schabas says he received emails threatening his life.

Schabas tells the Middle East Eye website he received “aggressive, threatening emails,” including threats on his life.

Schabas says he does not blame a specific state or organization for the threats but says that the verbal attacks came from an environment that “encourages” such behavior.
