Bring Criminal Charges against Ziad Jilani's Killer, Maxim Vinogradov
To Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein:
On the 11th of June 2010 Ziad Jilani was extra judicially executed by
a Border Patrol policeman, Maxim Vinogradov. Though the investigation
found much evidence to that effect, Police Interior Interrogations
("Machash") declared the case closed for lack of evidence and your
predecessor Attorney General, Menachem Mazuz, upheld their decision.
As you know, on January 4th of this year, Ziad's widow and 3 daughters
submitted an appeal to the Israeli Supreme Court, through the
al-Mazaan Center for Human Rights, demanding that you, as Attorney General, end
this travesty of justice and bring criminal charges
against Ziad Jillani's killers, Maxim Vinogradov and
Shadi Heir Al Din, for murder or manslaughter and Negligent Homicide,
respectively.
As a supporter of justice and human rights, I support this appeal, and
add my voice to a growing number of people, who are concerned by the
message that the closing of this case sends to Israeli soldiers and
that would like to see justice for Ziad Jilani.
[Your name]
Dear friends,
>
>July 11th will be the second anniversary of the execution of my
husband Ziad Jilani in Occupied East Jerusalem. The case against Maxim
Vinagrodov and his commander Shadi Heir Al Din was closed for lack of
evidence despite an abundance of irrefutable evidence that Ziad was
executed while he was wounded unarmed and posing no threat to anyone.
July 11th is also nine days before the Israeli State prosecutor must reply to a
petition to the Israeli Supreme court
by al Mezan center for human rights on behalf of myself and my daughters as to
why he will not press charges against Ziad's killer. We need to
let Israel's state prosecutor know that the world is watching his
decision and that ZIad will not be forgotten. We hope that this
knowledge will help him to do the right thing.
>
>This is not only about Justice for Ziad and our family If we can
pressure the Israeli government to press charges against Maxim, it will
demonstrate to soldiers that there are consequences for killing
Palestinians.
>
>What we need from you:
>
>if you can organize and participate in memorials for Ziad on June the 11th.
