Summary
Israeli human rights organisation cited by Makdisi in Palestine Inside Out for its joint report with B’Tselem on the registration of Palestinian children in Jerusalem, and for the assistance it offered Dr. Mona el-Farra in leaving Gaza (Palestine Inside Out: An Everyday Occupation, PDF p.164, p.209).
Details
- A joint B’Tselem and HaMoked report on birth registration in Jerusalem: “Parents going to the Ministry to obtain a birth certificate and record the child’s name in their identity cards are not always aware that the child does not have an identity number”; “[Interior] Ministry clerks do not inform them that they must initiate the process of registering the child, but rather issue a birth certificate without an identity number for the child. Only parents who themselves note that the child does not have an identity number submit a request to register the child.” (PDF p.164-165)
- HaMoked offered assistance to Mona el-Farra in leaving Gaza for her Irish lecture tour, promising a permit to leave at Erez; during her hours stalled at the crossing, HaMoked telephoned her repeatedly, like the Irish embassy, telling her not to give up (PDF p.209-210).
