OPT: Statement by Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Robert Serry
03 June 2010, Jerusalem — I am deeply concerned at reports from Gaza that Hamas has broken into a number of NGO offices in Gaza City and Rafah in recent days and closed them down, confiscating their materials and equipment in the process. This targeting of NGOs, including Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ partner organizations, is unacceptable, violating accepted norms of a free society and harming the Palestinian people. The de facto authorities must cease such repressive steps and allow the re-opening of these civil society institutions without delay.
