The Arab Organization for Human Rights in the UK (AOHR) has warned of an Israeli plan to kill Sheikh Raed Salah, Islamic Movement chief in 1948 Occupied Palestine (Israel).
AOHR said in statement that the crackdowns against Sheikh Salah and the mistreatment he has been subjected to in Israeli lock-ups reflect the inherent sadism entrenched in the Israeli government and its extreme dislike of Salah’s anti-occupation activism.
AOHR called for providing Sheikh Salah with psycho-physical protection.
