Palestinian human rights lawyer deported to France
Palestinian French lawyer and activist Salah Hammouri talks with the press as he arrives at the Charles de Gaulle Airport after his extradition from Israel to France, Sunday, Dec. 18, 2022, in Paris.

ISRAEL deported a Palestinian human rights lawyer and activist to France today, claiming he has ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

The French government had repeatedly objected to the expulsion of Salah Hamouri, who is a Palestinian-French national.

Mr Hamouri has denied ties to the PFLP, which Israel labels as a terrorist organisation, and was imprisoned under “administrative detention” since March.
