Deaths of Palestinians at roadblocks: ‘a Crime against Humanity’. The example of Radi Alwahash

MK Said Nafa (Balad) on Thursday held Defense Minister Ehud Barak personally responsible for the death of Radi Alwahash, an 18-year-old Palestinian who died roughly six weeks ago at an Israel Defense Forces checkpoint.

Balad MK blames Barak for death of Palestinian at roadblock

Alwahash was involved in a traffic accident which left him in a critical condition, and it took an hour and a half to transfer him from Bethlehem to hospital in Jerusalem.

Physicians for Human Rights filed a criminal complaint on Wednesday with the Tel Aviv police against the Civil Administration's health coordinator, Dalia Basa, accusing her of negligent homicide. This is the first such complaint, though numerous Palestinians have died due to roadblock delays. 

...Nafa sent a letter to Barak stating, "The responsibility for this killing lies solely on your soldiers, as head of the establishment... what happened is not only a criminal crime. It is a crime against humanity."

...Abdelhalim Ja'afra, director of emergency services for the Bethlehem area, showed Haaretz a thick file containing records of roadblocks and ambulances. Each patient's name and address are inscribed in hand-written columns, along with the time of the call and the time of going to and from the roadblock.

...The Civil Administration and the Defense Ministry have so far not elucidated the nature of Alwahash's "security past."
