A/HRC/41/41/Add.1 researcher for B’Tselem, who was detained, forced to strip in public and beaten by Israeli Border Police in Hebron after revealing her affiliation with B’Tselem. The Special Rapporteur must underscore that when high-level public officials publicly make disparaging remarks against human rights organisations and their members, it disparages them in the eyes of the public and creates impediments to their work. In addition, it puts the safety of members in jeopardy, as may have been the case with the harassment of Ms. AlJa’bri. Indeed, following the incendiary remarks made against Mr. El-Ad in October 2016, a Likud member of the Knesset posted an image of him on social media with writing which said “Wanted dead or alive”, an act which surely created a heightened risk for the human rights defender in terms of violence and other harassment. 115. The below listed communications are those which were sent jointly with Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders between 1 April 2018 and 30 November 2018, and which have already been reported on in his “Observations on communications transmitted to Governments and replies received” addendum, submitted to the Human Rights Council at its 40th session on 22 February 2019 (https://documents-ddsny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/G19/048/00/PDF/G1904800.pdf?OpenElement).
