American Widow seeks justice for slain Palestinian husband
American Widow seeks justice for slain husband on Monday
The widow of Ziad Jilani, a Palestinian executed in Wadi Joz two years ago by Border Policeman Maixim Vinagrodov, will deliver an international petition to Israel’s State’s Attorney’s office. The Petition demands that Maxim and his commander are held accountable for her husband’s death.
Where:
We will gather
at the Educational Bookstore, 19-22 Salah aDin Street in
East Jerusalem, for a background briefing and then go
together to deliver the petition to the Israeli Ministry of
Justice at 29 Salah a-Din Street.
When:
Monday
at 10AM at the Educational Bookstore and at 10:30 AM at the
Justice Ministry
Why:
Within a few days,
Weinstein is expected to respond to the Israeli Supreme
court as to whether or not charges will be brought against
the Border Police who executed Ziad Jilani. The case has
been gaining increasing international intention. On the 11th
of June, the anniversary of Ziad’s death, vigils were held
around the world in his memory- raising awareness about his
extra-judicial execution by Israeli police, and demanding to
reopen the case.
Moira and the Jilani family have led a courageous campaign to have charges brought against the police following an initial closing of the case.
