I.C.S.P.R: Executing the citizen Basel Al-Araj, is a new episode of disrespecting the human right to life.
Gaza Strip/ International Commission to Support Palestinian Rights (I.C.S.P.R) strongly condemns the heinous crime of execution committed by the occupation forces on Monday dawn 06 March 2017, that shot dead the Palestinian activist Basel Al-Araj (31 years) from the village of Al-Walaja in the southern occupied West Bank district of Bethlehem.
