"The requests for investigations were sent to UN Special Rapporteur for Free Expression, UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances, and UN Committee Against Torture, Segneri told The Carceral Report in an email. The agencies will review the submissions and "hopefully conduct their own investigations," she said. "This was not a random tragedy but a targeted attack on a journalist - a young man dedicated to showing the world the truth of Gaza's suffering," Segneri wrote on social media."
"Just days after the renowned journalist announced the ceasefire agreement, a militia killed Aljafarawi, according to news reports. In June, Prime Minister and accused war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu admitted that Israel had "activated" militias in Gaza. "He was in Al-Sabra to document the destruction left after the Israeli withdrawal, and armed men cooperating with the Israeli occupation shot him," his father, Amer al-Jafarawi, told the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), who said his son was wearing a press vest and helmet at the time of the attack."
Legal representatives for Palestinian journalist Saleh Aljafarawi filed complaints and requests for investigation with the International Criminal Court and multiple UN bodies, including the UN Special Rapporteur for Free Expression, the UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances, and the UN Committee Against Torture. The submissions request independent inquiries into the killing and allege the attack was targeted. Reports state Aljafarawi was killed by armed men cooperating with Israeli forces while documenting destruction in Al-Sabra, wearing a press vest and helmet. The killing occurred days after a ceasefire announcement and on the day his brother Naji was released among freed hostages.
