Bangladesh: Bangladesh condemns assassination of journo Shireen Akleh in Palestine

DHAKA, 17 May 2022, (TON): A correspondent of Al-Jazeera, in the Occupied Palestinian Territories “Bangladesh has strongly condemned the 'heinous' assassination of Shireen Abu Akleh.”

A foreign ministry statement received said "Bangladesh believes that the Israeli occupation forces' attack on Abu Akleh, who was on duty reporting facts and documenting crimes committed against the Palestinian people, occurred in the context of Israeli violations of press and media freedom to silence the demand of self-determination.”

It added “this constitutes a flagrant violation of international laws and norms, and thus warrants an immediate investigation and accountability for those responsible.”

Furthermore, Bangladesh denounces the use of force and blatant display of disrespect by Israeli Police against the mourners attending Abu Akleh's funeral procession in East Jerusalem.
