Six Palestinian human rights organizations were “designated” by the government of Israel as “terrorist organizations” on October 22.
These groups are the Al-Haq, Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, Defence for Children International Palestine, Bisan Center for Research and Development, Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees and Union of Agriculural Work Committee. Israel first tagged the group Samiduon Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network as “terrorist” in February.
According to Samiduon, they were designated as “terrorists” because they are able to effectively expose the crimes of Israel against Palestinians. It added that the terror-tag will certainly be used to arrest its members, dismantle organizations and close down their offices, and declare these as “illegal” even within the occupied territory.
