Ref: 91/2011

On Monday 19 December 2011, the
Permanent Military Court in Gaza held the ninth session in Gaza City to
consider the case relating to the death of the Italian solidarity activist,
Vittorio Arrigoni. Lawyers from the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR)
attended the session in their capacity as legal representatives of the Arrigoni
family.

During the session, the Military
Prosecution continued to present evidence. 
They presented a hard disk that included footage of the victim before
and after montage.  It also presented the
testimony of another witness.  In
conclusion, the Military Prosecution insisted on its demands that are included
in the bill of indictment.  The session
was adjourned to 05 January 2012 to hear the defense attorneys. 

PCHR will continue to follow up the
sessions held by the Court to consider Arrigoni’s case and update the Arrigoni
family on developments, in coordination with the family’s representative,
Attorney Gilberto Pagani, based on a power of attorney granted by the family to
PCHR lawyers.
