Shireen Abu Akleh's Family Files Complaint Against Israel at International Criminal Court
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The family of slain Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh
has filed a complaint against Israel at the International Criminal
Court. Abu Akleh was shot in the head on May 11 while covering an
Israeli raid on the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. Her
family says she was deliberately targeted and killed by Israeli forces.
Shireen's brother, Anton Abu Akleh, spoke with Al Jazeera from The
Hague.

Anton Abu Akleh: "This is the least we can do for Shireen. We have to
pursue justice for her in The Hague, in the ICC, in other courts.
Whatever we have to do, we will do it to ensure accountability for
Shireen for her killing. … Any person shooting at the press is
intentionally trying to kill and assassinate someone in the field doing
their job."
