Jerusalem District Court orders expulsion of Human Rights Watch director
A court has ordered the deportation of Human Rights Watch's local director and ordered him to leave the country within two weeks.
The Jerusalem District Court on Tuesday rejected an appeal by Omar Shakir to remain in the country, citing his ongoing support of boycotts of Israel during his time in the country.
Israel's interior minister ordered Shakir's deportation last year, calling him a "boycott activist," a claim Human Rights Watch and Shakir denied.
