Israeli rights group files petition demanding disclosure of paramedic’s location
Israeli civil rights group HaMoked has filed a petition with the High Court, demanding the military reveal the whereabouts of Asaad Nasasra, a Palestinian paramedic detained during a deadly Israeli assault last month that killed 15 emergency responders.
“This petition concerns the most basic right of a detainee: That his detention and location will be made known,” HaMoked lawyerAmeeneh Qumbar said, according to Middle East Monitor.
“Israeli authorities must immediately inform his family of Mr. Nasasra’s whereabouts, even if he is not allowed to meet with an attorney,” she added, warning that the circumstances raise “grave concerns” for his safety.
Israeli forces opened fire at the medics on March 23 in southern Gaza’s Rafah city, who were driving in ambulances to assist wounded people at the site of an earlier Israeli attack.
The attack was decried by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk, who said the incident raises concern over possible “war crimes” by the Israeli army.
