The AIC Support Campaign
- What has been done?
Although extensive individual
efforts by the persons listed above have failed in the past to achieve
positive results, we expect that local and international pressure on the
Israeli authorities will cause them to reconsider their position.
Therefore the AIC has undertaken
the following steps to prepare a modest campaign for their issue:
- Publishing the ex-prisoners’
story in a small report
- Sending two written requests
to the Interior Ministry asking them to reconsider the policy of refusing
family reunification to former political prisoners in Jerusalem. Both letters
dated 5/12/93 and 10/1/94 have remained unanswered until now.
- Letters to several Israeli
MKs who are known for having supported Palestinian residency rights in
the past. Consequently, MK Tamar Gozanski/HADASH submitted a list of urgent
questions to the Minister of the Interior, and MK Yael Dayan/LABOR adopted
the cases of two activists presented in the AIC report. We are awaiting
the results of their efforts. |
