Defending Israelis’ Right to Protest

30 November 2021

Over the past year, Israelis have taken to the streets to protest against government corruption, violence in Palestinian-Israeli society, and home demolitions. NIF, Shatil, and grantees including the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) and Adalah: The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel have educated protesters about their rights and provided legal support. The Human Rights Defenders Fund has negotiated the release of over 250 protesters, and the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel has filed over 70 reports of police brutality at various demonstrations since July 2020.
