11/04/2018 (Agence Europe) – On Tuesday 10 April, the non-governmental organisations EuroMed Rights and CISDE (International Co-operation for Development and Solidarity) called on High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini to take action to prevent the demolition of the Bedouin village of Umm al-Hiran, which has nearly 350 inhabitants. "We call on you to urge Israel to halt the forthcoming demolition of Umm al-Hiran, in line with adherence to international law and the state’s duty to protect every citizen’s rights regardless of their race or national belonging", the two NGOs state in a letter to Mogherini. They also say that the government's "discriminatory" plan is to build a Jewish-only town on the ruins of the village, once the Bedouins have been expelled. (CG)
