UN voices ‘deep concern’ over killing of Gaza man by family
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe UN is expressing “deep concern” over the killing of a Gaza man by family members last week over his suspected collaboration with Israel.
Hamas suspected Ahmed Barhoum aided Israel in killing three of its commanders during the 2014 Gaza war.
The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights says it “condemns this killing in the strongest terms and reminds the de facto authorities in Gaza of their legally binding obligation to respect and protect the right to life and security of every person in Gaza.
It is calling on Gaza’s Hamas leaders “to undertake immediate, full, independent and impartial investigation into this killing in order to bring the perpetrators to justice and to deter further violations of the right to life.”
