Geneva: The UN said on Friday that Zionist troops fired a bullet that killed Al Jazeera journalist Sirene Abu Acre and discovered that the Zionist entity had swiftly branded the UN findings as groundless. .. A Palestinian-American television reporter wearing a vest and helmet labeled “Press” was killed on May 11 while reporting on Zionist operations at Genin Camp in the northwest coast. ..
“The ammunition that killed Abu Acre was found to be from (Zionist) security forces,” Ravina Shamdasani, a spokesman for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, told reporters in Geneva. “It is very disturbing that the (Zionist) authorities are not conducting criminal investigations,” she said, saying that the Human Rights Department has terminated its own independent oversight of the case.
“All the information we gathered was the ammunition that killed Abu Acre and injured his colleague Ali Samaudi, as the (Zionist) authorities first claimed, indiscriminate firing by armed Palestinians. Not consistent with the discovery that it came from (Zionist) security forces. “She said. “We could not find any information suggesting that there was activity by armed Palestinians in the immediate vicinity of the journalists.”
In line with human rights monitoring methodologies, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights inspected photographs, videos and audio materials, visited sites, consulted experts, considered formal communication and interviewed witnesses. .. The investigation included information from the Zionist army and the Attorney General of Palestine. The United Nations Rights Agency has discovered that seven journalists arrived at the western entrance to Genin Camp after 6 am.
Around 6:30 am, when the four journalists turned into specific streets, “a few seemingly well-targeted bullets were fired at them from the direction of (Zionist) security forces. One bullet injured Ali Samaudi on the shoulder. Another bullet hit Abu Acre’s head and killed her immediately. “
When an unarmed man tried to approach Abu Acre’s body, several more single bullets were fired and another intact journalist evacuated behind the tree, Shamdasani said. She added that the ammunition continued to be fired as the person was eventually able to carry away Abu Acre’s body. In response, the Zionist army said it was “impossible” to determine how Abu Acre was killed.
According to an official Palestinian investigation, a star reporter on a Qatari television channel was killed after being hit by a bullet just below the helmet. Abu Acre was reportedly killed by a 5.56mm armor-piercing shell fired from a Ruger Mini 14 rifle. Her niece Lina Abu Acre asked on Twitter: How many more reports do they need to be held accountable? “
Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet urges Zionist organizations to begin criminal investigation into the killings of Abu Acre and all other killings by Zionist troops in the context of law enforcement operations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. I requested. “Since the beginning of this year, our office has confirmed that security forces (of Zionists) have killed 58 Palestinians, including 13 children,” said Shamdasani. “International human rights law requires a swift, thorough, transparent, independent and impartial investigation into the use of all forces that result in death or serious injury. Perpetrators must be held accountable.” – AFP
