Justice demanded two years after deadly Israeli attack on journalists in Lebanon
Human Rights Watch (HRW) has urged Lebanon to pursue justice two years after an Israeli attack killed a Reuters journalist and wounded six others, including two from AFP news agency.
On Thursday, Lebanon’s government tasked the Ministry of Justice with investigating legal options for prosecuting Israel for crimes against journalists.
The government’s move “offers a fresh opportunity to achieve justice for the victims”, Human Rights Watch said in a statement, noting that two years since the attack, “victims of war crimes in Lebanon remain without effective access to accountability and justice”.
“Scores of other civilians in Lebanon have been killed in apparently deliberate or indiscriminate attacks that violate the laws of war and amount to war crimes,” HRW’s Ramzi Kaiss said.
