Israeli League for Human and Civil Rights

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Israeli League for Human and Civil Rights is a human rights group.

History and leadership

[edit]

From 1970, this human rights group was chaired by Israel Shahak. It was briefly a member of the International League for Human Rights, but was suspended in 1973.[1] This was related to the organisation's 1972 AGM, on 16 November, which was broken up by some 200 members of the Young Israeli Labor Party[2] assisted by members of the GSS.[3] Both Uri Davis and Felicia Langer have served as vice-chair.[citation needed]
