2:36 pm
was shocked and saturate in whiskey. we were going to court our baby elma, but we didn't hesitate to change the name. at 2 weeks old, she's already seen israeli settlers attack a village while she won't remember this attack is likely she will see many incursions like this in her life. the kind of witness that sharing the journalist would seek out and report on her. and she was doing just that in jeanine when she was shot in the head on may 11th by israeli soldiers. ah on the day the funeral israeli falls and storm the procession and started to beat mourners causing pool barrison every drop her casket that didn't stop thousands of palestinians from marching through occupied easter useless to take part in a funeral and bearing this is bridget university. the most prestigious educational institution in palestine. this is where sharin helped the next generation of journalists, her losses at the campus hard. the university is announced
2:37 pm
a number of ways to honor and remember her, including the shriek of walk like scholarship. one of the best female journalist sharon is an example that needs to remain a life for the students in order to continue learning from and is inspiring from from gaza to the occupied westbank across palestine shrink killing. there's not any shock to be united palestinians here. and abroad in grief, this is serina tebow offload office is now a temporary showing to her almost every day people are coming into this office with floral arrangements and some i have to say very touching artwork. but this isn't about her being a journalist, this is much more than that. there's a now common saying about sharina barkley that she was a daughter of palestine and wrong oh dessert ramallah. ah. all right, so then let's say bryan,
2:38 pm
i guess what an l one is a journalist and was a friend of serene abruptly. she joins us from ramallah, 3 as dinner. brown, yellow is a member of the legal team for garza victims before the international criminal court. he joined us from berlin, and joining us from paris is a pauline at us. melville, she's editor in chief at reporters without borders or the warm welcome to the program at fat. and i'd like to start with you if i may. of course after sharon's death, the poor so much emotion, 1st of all of course, deep sadness but also anger or resentment, wholesale, frustration emanating from decades of occupation. one month on that. and what's the overriding sense amongst people thereabouts. the follow up, the follow up to her death. well, let's start with the pain. the pain is still as if that happened today. every day is the fit happened today because we still don't have an answer. we don't see anyone holding accountability for her duct. and we're still demanding justice or
2:39 pm
should in. so until now all what we hear is statements given you're in there, the united states giving statement, non stop acting as if she is a 2nd grade citizen. ah, holding an american passport are living in palestine being killed by israel or says, and until now the united states that in ask we're a firm fast answer to why and why is the guy or that the person who took away i was shooting and caused us all, all this plane is still really living his life as nothing happened. it's a painful feeling. we're fil morning. shitty and, and we're still demanding answers until now. i don't have an answer to letting alina lina, jumping from one country to another, to just the raised the voice of cities asking for justice. and i haven't memo, lutherans, newsroom? yeah, yeah,
2:40 pm
yes. in which we weren't so pulls within the family because should him from me was a family number member. she's not just the french is not just a colleague. she is a sister, she's a family member. and now i'm, i'm carrying on like the that the, that the giving the answer on the adult in the family of side and when, whenever letting, as having a nightmare at night. and she just want to do a video about like, let's push it more. let's push it more and then we'll spend a whole light working on that video or should we do this or that? and then that he and we didn't have a rest like until now she didn't even have time to warn her her and that that she lost to just jumping from one place to another just to raise up the voice. and we only the answers, we all, we only had someone to do that though, but we need to do to hold someone accountable. someone is responsible about this bullet that destroyed all of our lives. not just like me last shilling, but it destroys so many people's life around. and we just need an answer and it's
2:41 pm
only in every single part of the world. there is a criminal, and there is a victim. and there's a judgement in between why it's always that when it comes to palestine, the judgement is in a deep coma sleeping, not doing anything, just giving a ridiculous statement about asking for a fair, a free investigation. we have the investigation, you have the reports, you have the image. so what else do you need? a pulling out is maebelle from reporters without borders. the, the ne, i says fatten is just said the need to know what happened is fundamental. of course, in any unexpected death, but especially in this case, yet there is no independent investigation. we don't know the details of what happened. what the orders were, who fired the shot, the killed. sure in the truth is, we probably never wills are right. well we hope we will, we still hope that something will come out and we called today for an end of the
2:42 pm
impunity on this case. because one month after like sharon's colleague, just mention nothing has happened or we demanded an independent international investigation after this. why the leader of many countries called for transparent investigation and where are we a month later? no united nation investigation and an israeli investigation which terminated almost when it's it began. however, she's a ne cone. these case is very emblematic of what a impunity can be. and establishing the truth is absolutely necessary. it is necessary to bring a response to punish those responsible. there has been a number of reports since may 11th of from investigative journalist to from a different channel such as
2:43 pm
a cnn or billing cat showing that even though the israeli authorities had mentioned the fact that palestinian were on the run and were likely to have shot the journalist, it seemed that they were not so it has to be investigated independently and it's, it's absolutely clear that this case is emblematic and that the truth will be needed. it's one additional case to the situation and one additional death. but obviously this is a clear that they are signs showing that the israeli could be involved and this is a needed the truth is needed and thinner. if israel was not the ally that it is united states, how different do you think the story would be? well, well, very interesting question, what, what do we know at this stage that there will be no, generally in domestic investigation before any time before any us the course not
2:44 pm
because i just thought about these. but because the presidents in the context really show that 1st of all of these, i mean he's a completely unwilling to bring to job piece up a potential solve international crimes like these. and on the other side of the us . so thought they had the julie shawn over these case work, crime, creamy, i'll say to but again, even the us policies are unwilling. there are other precedents in these regard where us domestic courts have the name of the procedure against any military officer on the basis on the all political motivation because they proceeding should be initiated by the department of justice in the us
2:45 pm
department of justice. mary, being willing to start generally in the investigation against that he's officer. and i think that the only possibility for an independent investigation, he can be only at an international level. there will be no, just the small accountability in this case coming from domestic course also because he's unable to prosecute the officer. so the only possibility he left, he's really in the hands of the particular international court ability would be national or will come on to that in a 2nd. i want to play this clip. he says, we've been hearing trina, black was an american citizen, the secretary of state was challenged early this week about the american response in his what he said, i deplore the loss of assuring. she was a remarkable journalist, an american citizen, as you will know. and there too,
2:46 pm
we are determined to follow the facts and get to the truth of what happened. i know they have not yet, but know they've, i'm sorry with respect they've not yet been established for looking for they've not that we're looking for an independent credible investigation. when that investigation happens, we will follow the facts wherever they lead it's it's, it's straightforward is that that is not yet happened, but it's something that we very much want to see happens for another one. if i can come to you, what do you make of that? entered the kid is totally ridiculous. it took only to me to send $54.00 investigators to ukraine just with the, with the legal affairs of the ham. and now it's been a month and still you need more investigation. how many investigation should be implemented? indeed so so what about the i see the mission, the i c c. what about the i see and hopes of justice and where are we with the process generally for victims there and how does this couple into those cases?
2:47 pm
so we are now to the situation on the policy before the international court. we have the stage the prosecutor has officially opening investigation for a crime committed in the west bank into the need to do selim. and they've got to be bought so far with the new prosecutor coming khan, and the particular guys being acquired to the lockdown to stock. casey not award to select the alleged patrice on some of these kinds and they declined allegedly committed. these are the last time he really baby, very difficult to understand from a legal perspective because we are dealing with one of the most documented situation for commission of what kinds of crimes case you. monday we are dealing with the situation which is before they will be not domestic investigation. so it's really basically one of the stand why? because if you're not to be taken any effective match. so 5 to investigate the
2:48 pm
decline, particular committee to buy it easily. not despise to be huge abundance of everything submitted by the policy and society to his office and pull in. so we have this vacuum whereby, you know, blink and saying that this is, it has to be this investigation, but he knows that israel and palestine will know not cooperate and therefore knows that will not be an investigation bit what you're saying. it's, it's imperative on the united states. the onus is on the united states to fill that back human spearhead at this inquiry into sheree and well that the thing is, sir, it has to be in a stone in the shoe and the pressure has to continue. i would be less a tough than my colleague i. we hope that things will happen. i think it's her promise. it's a commitment from the secretary of state from 20 blind game. and it is absolutely
2:49 pm
necessary that the end use such as reporters without borders, but also other organization and dealing with this case continue just to recall the situation are right now. palestine as dropped in our index. consequently, in the in 2022 because of this violence because the because of the number of israeli violation against palestinian john or the still since the weekly protest in march 2018. and there has been a huge raise of violence and it's, it's absolutely clear that these cases showed that her, there were, i mean, she was wearing signs showing. she was a journalist, there were witnesses. and there are now sayings words, people saying that there were no palestinian a around or likely to have shot the julie. so we have the elements and it's
2:50 pm
absolutely necessary to continue the worth thing is impunity and impunity as lusty the quite a long time in the region and especially for a palestinian or international journalist. and in this conflict that this case is very emblematic. and anyway, and as long as there is no truce or elements showing that the israeli are clear. and then the everyone will know that they are underneath allies or something is covered. and so these doesn't work. and this is our role as a, an organisation fighting fuck breastfeeding to site a gets nice. impunity, it is so important. and then it says so important to send a signal to all the journalists who continue to gather this region. and this conflict in particular indeed. and to this dino, the, this,
2:51 pm
you mentioned domestic course of the united states. but what about seeking redress through the u. s. court system with the civil case? we have the president of mary colvin family recovering was the sunny times from florida or killed in syria. she, her family took her case to the civil courts and which ruled that syria had to pay $300000000.00 of that money wasn't coming any time soon. but that was the raleigh. couldn't something similar happened in this case whether there will be the possibility for both c lender premium election before domestic court in the us. but as i said before, the proceeding has to be triggered by political bodies particular by the department of justice. and these is a likely that these are going to happen. one of the proceedings both stephen cleaning up concern, israeli citizens as you were correctly say in the beginning us are stronger,
2:52 pm
lacks something decent. got to be just any particular sport that he's trying to focus on. but even more the us suddenly showing back equal to the previous one. the other ministration is also made a strong pressure of international creamy not caused by issuing the so called the executive order, which in both sectionals on the particular to the former prosecutor apartments and have thought, you know, relation to the investigation of both, you know, for guns and a mesh on what we know very clearly that the political message we got from the west that natalie domestic course was feeling agreement that we will have a very difficult me showing in. investigating casey related with office at the bottom us will make also some rational national cost to provide a fee for coming to gifting such international crime. indeed, as the palestinians because they refused to cooperate with it,
2:53 pm
that he is ready investigation in the 1st place, a complete lack of trust and they didn't want to offer the bullet that they have which killed sharin. so what do you think the shape of the investigation should be to ensure that it's independent and transparent and an acceptable we need some of that. we can trust simply a stuff because we did measure o or witnessed throughout the years. and manipulation of evidence by the israeli site, and we need someone to trust that you address the family and they spoke about it. they still would have made, make up their mind whether they want to go to there or not. because there's always the fear of manipulation with the evidence and this is why the palestinian authority simply didn't want to give the bullet to the israeli aside, we have a connection of weapons which can they can easily make it easy that we use the palestinian fighters use m 16 and then the israel soldier used the same
2:54 pm
kind of weapon, but then there is always the number to that bullet. there's always a number that is related to the gun that the soldier need to sign a paper that he has those number related to that related to that person. so we can easily find a person to blame. now we need of like a side that we can trust and israeli palestinian investigation. israel is no, not in a place that we can trust, not in any was. i mean they at so many places they did steal organs. they did still on the evidence and with a did, this is not a place where we can trust. but what i know that, what with that side is going to be need to fight the in the name of sri and, and the name of every palestinian that became a victim of the rule of shooting kill whenever they feel like it. and we're not just fighting for shooting. we're fighting for every single is really a soldier that we witnessed throughout the years getting more and more aggressive
2:55 pm
on the ground killing with the smile on their face. only by knowing that i'm a free man after that. like what we called is really soldier in palestine is the sacred cow that no one can come near. so you can see them like i was shot twice, twice out of 3 times. and the soldier was just like, i'm wearing my gear and he was just pointing the gun up and putting it down. and i was so stupid to believe that he will not shoot me. but he did. he did, and he was smiling because he knows he can do it, do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. and no one is going to hold them accountable. and even in their where a case of like the one and he brought, he was serving 3 months in jail and he was out even though he held the gun in front of cameras. and he shot a person at dallas tinian person. all the evidence is in front of your face. okay, so guess he, they took him to court, but then he was only there for 3 months and then was
2:56 pm
a free man because his life as nothing happened right and poorly. this is important, not just for justice on the ground of course, but also as you've been alluding to, to, for journalism as a whole. and i was reading that, what is it? 80 percent of the journalist murders have gone on prosecuted in the last decade. yes, i think it's very important as a sign of a, a of prediction of press freedom june is to have to be able to cover in peace. i think it is very important that even though there was this violation of the un security council resolution 2222 on the protection of journalist under geneva convention on security of journalist. it's absolutely necessary that the journalist can know that they will be able to cover for the conflict the own. i mention for 140 journalist,
2:57 pm
the victims of violation on fridays march since the 2018, but it's also 30 journalist killed since a 2000. so the stall is absolutely enormous, and it's in this case is a only metric because the journalist was known she was experienced. she obviously days all this background or around what happened. and so this is, that is why it's so important that these a strong signal for press freedom for journalists to continue to believe that it was, will come out or is one final question for the rest. you know, we got about 30 seconds left or so. do you think they will ever be justice for sure in i think that there can be justice before the international court on domestic level. but there must be a pressure by cd society policy to society,
2:58 pm
international phoenix society. but call us on international court to new to the prosecutor, to stop investigation. it will be said what kind of but in particular as a crime, a case, you might think because he's not an isolated part of a wife and he's been up against policy. not so much your patient, both in the west bank and in the us. so there would be an investigation they wouldn't be just received. the pressure of the fcc will be high. why the court with people ongoing would be lack of c in investigating the situation, as i said. and the case, as i said before, is showing up at the front of them being with these because the cause has shown that the baby, a born effect intervening. another situation of the particular thing this case. all right, we'll have to leave the thank you so much to all of you for joining us today. and l one d, no man yellow and pointing out
