Lawyers call for ICC, UN inquiries into killing of journalist Saleh Aljafarawi

Human rights lawyer Sara Segneri says she and others are pursuing complaints on behalf of Palestinian journalist Saleh Aljafarawi, who was shot dead in Gaza City after going missing on Sunday morning. “Saleh Aljafarawi’s kidnapping, torture, and murder is a grave injustice that demands accountability at the highest level,” Segneri wrote in a post on social media. She said those acting on behalf of Aljafarawi have filed “complaints and demands for investigation with the International Criminal Court (ICC) and multiple UN investigative bodies and special rapporteurs”.
