Israel has deported French-Palestinian activist and lawyer Salah Hamouri to France in a move condemned by human rights groups and the French Foreign Ministry. Before his deportation on Sunday, Hamouri had been held without charges under Israel’s so-called administrative detention law since his arrest in March. Hamouri is a longtime resident of East Jerusalem, which Israel has occupied since 1967. U.N. human rights spokesperson Jeremy Laurence said in a statement, “Deporting a protected person from occupied territory is a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention, constituting a war crime.”
