First 'boycott bill' appeal in High Court
None
The Gush Shalom movement has appealed to the High Court against the "boycott bill" which was approved last night in the Knesset plenum. The appeal stated that the law was offensive to the basic principles of democracy.
"The "boycott bill" is an additional layer in the attempt by Israel's parliamentary majority to silence all criticism of government policy in general and especially the government policy in the occupied territories, preventing open political dialogue," it was claimed in the first appeal against the bill.
