Residents of Occupied West Bank city Ramallah held a rally demanding Israel to return the bodies of slain Palestinians.
Rally organiser Azhar Abu Srour, whose son’s body has been held since April 2016, says it is their right to bury their dead and the occupation needs to be held accountable for this crime.
Israel claims releasing the bodies leads to violent incitement at funerals, and makes use of the withheld bodies during political negotiations with the Palestinian leadership.
