‘Banning Palestinians from Ibrahimi Mosque a violation of worldwide regulation’ – Center East Monitor

The Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) introduced on Friday that stopping Palestinians from accessing Ibrahimi Mosque within the West Financial institution metropolis of Hebron: “Is a violation of worldwide legal guidelines and conventions.”

In a press release issued on the twenty eighth anniversary of the bloodbath of Ibrahimi Mosque, the PLO’s Human Rights Division proclaimed: “Since 25 February, 1994, Palestinians have been prevented from reaching the mosque, praying inside it and elevating Azan a variety of the occasions that the Israeli Jewish settlers don’t want.”

On 25 February, 1994, extremist Israeli settler Baruch Goldstein opened fire at Palestinian worshippers whereas Palestinians carried out daybreak prayer at Ibrahimi Mosque, killing 29 worshippers and wounding over 100 others.

“Since then, the Israeli occupation authorities have been Judaising Ibrahimi Mosque by stopping Palestinians from getting into it when the settlers have fun their rituals,” the assertion shared.

“That is thought-about a violation of all of the worldwide legal guidelines and conventions associated to human rights and freedom of worship,” the PLO’s assertion added.

The PLO referred to as for the worldwide neighborhood to face by its obligations and afford worldwide safety for Palestinians and their holy locations below the Israeli occupation.

Following the bloodbath, Israel confiscated half of the mosque and handed it over to the Israeli settlers, persevering with its intermittent closure of the opposite half. On many events, the occupation expanded its closers to Hebron’s Outdated Metropolis to clear it for Israeli settlers.
