Israel Shut Down al-Haq's Office. The NGO Returned That Same Day
Since the raid, many people have come to Al-Haq's Ramallah office to show solidarity: 'We’re concerned, but we’re keeping on with our work,' says director Shawan Jabarin. 'They want to silence us and control us'
A few days after the Israeli military forced their way into the West Bank offices of Al-Haq, several people worked to fix its doors. The human rights group was one of seven NGOs raided on August 18, more than six months after Israel declared them terrorist organizations. The forces confiscated documents, printers and scanners from some of the organizations, but this did not happen at Al-Haq, which was relatively fortunate in this respect.
