On Monday, 13 May 2019, Al-Haq, the Community Action Center (Al-Quds University), and Amnesty International held a joint press conference at Yabous Cultural Centre in Jerusalem warning against the imminent deportation of Palestinian photojournalist Mustafa Al-Nadir Al-Kharouf, 32, from Jerusalem. The organisations made calls for immediate action to prevent Mustafa Al-Kharouf’s deportation, to ensure the Israeli occupying authorities release him from arbitrary detention, and to ensure he is granted permanent residency status in East Jerusalem.

Dr.Munir NUSEIBAH from Al-Quds Human Rights Clinic speaking at our first side event on forcible transfer at the UN Human Rights Council (HRC31), described the historical context of residency revocations in occupied Jerusalem since 1967, and the recent punitive measures being considered by the Israeli Supreme Court.

Al-Majami is a project which aims to support the participation of one Italian volunteer in the program of activities of the Community Action Center directed at promoting the active citizenship and equal participation of youths and adolescents living in the Old City of Jerusalem in the process of the community’s social change.
