Anwar worked at Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights for fourteen years and his work in promoting human dignity and respect for international law has always been highly valuable.
His death is one more unfortunate consequence of the indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks on civilians. Over the years, our organizations have strived tirelessly to ensure accountability and redress for victims of such violations. Such a crime, together with any other violations, should be investigated and perpetrators must be held accountable.
Our organizations deplore the complacent silence of the EU, its Member States and the international community in the face of recurring of grave violations in the Gaza Strip.
