Ramallah, 29 Rabi’ul Awwal 1438/29 December 2016 (MINA) – Members of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) have participated in a protest march in Ramallah, calling for the return of the bodies of 11 Palestinians recently killed by Israeli gunfire.

Relatives of the slain Palestinians and national figures also participated in the event denouncing Israel’s refusal to hand over their sons’ bodies,the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reported.

The protesters carried banners and photos of 11 Palestinians, whose bodies are being held by Israeli occupation authorities, demanding immediate and unconditional handover of their corpses.

Since the outbreak of Jerusalem Intifada in October 2015, Israel decided not to return the bodies of slain Palestinians, shot dead by Israeli forces for alleged involvement in attacks on Israeli soldiers or settlers, to their families as part of its collective punishment policy.  (T/R04/RS05)
