Amnesty International will be picketing outside the Central Banks in Dublin and Luxembourg on Tuesday. Say Non!
1/4 Responding to reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu’s plane was about to leave Budapest, Stephen Bowen, Executive Director Amnesty Ireland noted: “This wanted man can not leave Hungary without travelling through the sovereign territory or airspace of many European countries.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. European ICC state parties are required to arrest him and uphold international justice should he pay them a visit.
4/4 “We cannot allow Europe’s skies to be a safe haven for fugitives from international justice. As for reports that Netanyahu will travel next to Washington DC, one can only hope that he will not be flying through our Irish Airspace, otherwise it makes a mockery of us all.”
1/2 “As Orban and Netanyahu make a mockery of all the values we hold dear, the deafening silence of so many European Leaders is shameful. They should act now. To the extent that countries have the ability to deny overflight permission to Netanyahu, they should do so."
3/4 “It is heartbreaking to see European leaders asleep at the wheel, rather than securing his arrest. To the extent that countries have the ability to deny overflight permission to Netanyahu, they should do so.
2/4 “These countries are obliged to secure his arrest and transfer to the International Criminal Court to stand trial on charges including using starvation as a method of warfare, directing attacks against the civilian population, crimes against humanity and other inhuman acts.
Dr. Scott Warren faces up to 20 years in prison for giving food and water to migrants in the desert. Acts of kindness like this must not be criminalized! Stand with @amnesty & @NoMoreDeaths and tell @USAO_AZ - humanitarian aid is never a crime! buff.ly/2HId3mM
"We are witnessing a population being starved to death in front of our eyes. What is preventing our Government from saying 'This is Genocide. This must stop.' Lead and others will follow”
- Stephen Bowen, Amnesty Ireland
Today we went to the Embassy of Hungary calling for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now that he is on European soil. We cannot allow Europe to be a safe haven for fugitives from international justice. Take action -
