A dossier against 10 British nationals accused of war crimes while they fought for Israel in the besieged and bombarded Gaza Strip has been filed to London’s Metropolitan Police by a leading human rights lawyer.
The 240-page report, compiled by Michael Mansfield and other lawyers in The Hague, was submitted on Monday on behalf of the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) and the British-based Public Interest Law Centre – which are representing Palestinians in Gaza and the United Kingdom.
