EU Freezes Funds to Palestinian Rights Group
(London Jewish Chronicle) The European Union and five European national aid agencies this week froze contributions to LAW, a leading Palestinian human-rights organization, after independent auditors reportedly found "considerable mismanagement" of funds. Khader Shkeirat, LAW's founding director, resigned last September when the Europeans launched an investigation into the handling of $1.5 million of aid money between 1997 and 2002. Under Mr. Shkeirat, LAW played a leading part in criticism of Israel at the 2001 UN World Conference against Racism in Durban.
