Rights groups condemn Israeli deportation decision of HRW director
"Yesterday an Israeli court upheld an order to deport HRW's Omar Shakir for his human rights work in Israel & the Occupied Palestinian Territories," said Amnesty International in a tweet. "The State of Israel's message has become clear: Human rights work has no place here. If you try to expose, we will expel you."
The Israeli government revoked in May of last year Shakir's work permit after it accused him of advocating boycott of Israel and Israeli settlements. A 2017 Israeli law allows the government to bar entry into Israel of advocated and supports of the boycott movement, Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS).
