An Israeli court has upheld a travel ban against a Palestinian campaigner for Amnesty International who has been barred from leaving the occupied West Bank.
The rights group said in a statement on Tuesday that a judge at the Jerusalem District Court accepted the Israeli security agency’s position that Laith Abu Zeyad constitutes a security threat, effectively rubber-stamping the ban.
