On Oct. 19 Israel issued a military order declaring key Palestinian human rights and civil society groups “terrorist organizations.” The targeted groups include AFSC’s partner in the No Way to Treat a Child initiative, Defense for Children International – Palestine, as well as Al-Haq, Addameer, Bisan, the Union of Agricultural Working Committees, and the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees. The declaration effectively outlaws these groups.
