Tunisian Human Rights League condemns Israeli Knesset's death penalty law for Palestinian detainees

The LTDH views this decision, made during the commemoration of Land Day, as a direct threat to the lives of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and a "dangerous escalation" in policies of repression and systematic targeting. The organization considers this legislation a "serious violation of the right to life" and a "flagrant attack on the principles of international humanitarian law and human rights." It also believes it is an attempt to "legalize murder under the guise of law" within the context of occupation.

The LTDH emphasizes that this measure cannot be seen as a simple judicial provision, warning of the risks of using the judicial system for "reprisals and elimination," particularly due to what it perceives as a lack of fair trial guarantees and the maintenance of exceptional judicial systems applied to Palestinians. The League also cautions against deepening discriminatory and unequal practices, arguing that this approach reinforces policies based on identity-based targeting, contradicting universal principles of justice and human rights. The LTDH calls on the international community to fulfill its moral and legal responsibilities and act "urgently and effectively" to end these violations, while ensuring the protection of Palestinian detainees aga
