Palestine: UN envoy attacks soldier’s execution of wounded man
Human rights council backs four resolutions on Israeli abuses

THE United Nations’ Palestine peace envoy condemned Thursday’s “extrajudicial execution” of a wounded Palestinian by an Israeli soldier yesterday.

Special Co-ordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov said: “This was a gruesome, immoral and unjust act that can only fuel more violence and escalate an already volatile situation.”

Abed al-Fattah Yusri al-Sharif and Ramzi Aziz al-Qasrawi were shot after they allegedly tried to stab Israeli occupation troops in the Old City district of Hebron in the West Bank.
