<p align="center"><strong>Israeli
High Court Postpones
Decision on Setting Date for
Returning of Bodies of
Extrajudicially Executed
Palestinians</strong></p>
<p class="rtejustify">Ramallah -
The Israeli High Court decided
to postpone looking into the
petition filed by Addameer
attorney Adv. Mohammad Mahmoud
regarding setting a date for
returning the bodies of
Palestinians who were
extrajudicially executed to
their families.</p>
<p class="rtejustify">The judges
stated that the hearing will
be postponed until the end of
the Jewish holidays and that
the return of the bodies will
be subject to extreme security
measures. However, the
prosecution did not provide
the court with the details of
the before mentioned security
measures. The occupation
authorities have returned most
of the bodies of Palestinians
who were extrajudicially
executed in recent months to
the families. However, they
continue to hold a number of
the bodies despite the fact
that some of the families
agreed to the extremely harsh
and arbitrary conditions.</p>
<p class="rtejustify">Addameer
considers the decision to keep
the bodies of 15 Palestinians
who were extrajudicially
executed by Israeli forces and
police for more than six
months an extremely
humiliating practice and one
degrading to the human dignity
of the deceased, family
members and to the cultural
and religious norms of
Palestinian society. Addameer
stresses that this practice
constitutes collective
punishment that targets the
families of the deceased and
aims to obstruct any attempts
to investigate the
extrajudicial executions. </p>
<p class="rtejustify">The
occupation authorities
continue to withhold the
bodies of 15 Palestinians who
were killed during the recent
uprising that started in the
beginning of October 2015. The
names of the extrajudicially
executed Palestinians that are
still being held by the
occupation authorities are:
Thaer Abdul Salam Abu Ghazaleh
(whose body has been withheld
the longest period), Hasan
Khalid Jibril Manasra,
Mohammad Khalil Olayyan, Alaa
Dauod Abu Jamal, Mutaz
Oweisat, Mohhamd Ali Nimer,
Abdul Mohsen Shaher Hassouneh,
Mohmmad Abu Khalaf, Fadwa Abu
Teir, Bashar Masalha, Fuad Abu
Rajab, Abdul Rahman Raddad,
Abdul Malek Abu Kharoub,
Mohammad Kaloti, and Abdul
Fatah Sharif. </p>
