London, UK. 23rd March, 2023. Activists from Amnesty International UK wearing masks stage a protest against 'Israeli Apartheid' outside Downing Street on the eve of a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Amnesty International published a major report in 2022 claiming that Israel's treatment of the Palestinians amounts to the international crime of apartheid and Amnesty International UK have written to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu's visit raising concerns about the UK’s commitment to international justice in light of its tacit acceptance of Israel’s occupation and annexation of Palestinian territory. The human rights situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories has seriously deteriorated since Benjamin Netanyahu's current Israeli government assumed power in December 2022.
