NO IMMUNITY FOR GAZA WAR CRIMES!
Rally and Pack The Courts!
Friday, 1/16/2009 @ 11:30 am, Foley Square
In a case particularly relevant to the current crisis, the Center for
Constitutional Rights (CCR) will be arguing the appeal of Matar v.
Dichter next Friday in Manhattan. Please come out in support!
Just before midnight on July 22, 2002, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)
dropped a one-ton bomb on a residential apartment building in Gaza
City. The aerial bomb killed 15 people, including 8 children and
injured more than 150 people. Avi Dichter, former Director of Israel's
General Security Service, planned and directed this "targeted"
assassination with the knowledge that civilians would be killed. The
case, filed by the CCR in 2005, was dismissed in 2007 because,
according to the Israeli government, Dichter was acting in the course
of his official duties and therefore immune from liability. The appeal
is being heard next Friday, January 16 (details below). For more
information on the case, see CCR's factsheet
(www.ccrjustice.org/files/1.8.09 final dichter factsheet.pdf).
Immunity cannot be granted for these war crimes - and Dichter must be
held accountable. Join DRUM-Desis Rising Up and Moving, Muslim
American Society, National Lawyers Guild- NYC Chapter, New Jersey
Solidarity - Activists for the Liberation of Palestine, NYC Labor
Against the War, WESPAC Foundation and others in demanding
accountability at a rally outside the courthouse:
