Dr. Ashrawi: Palestine mourns the loss of British Labour MP Jo Cox
PLO Executive Committee Member Dr. Hanan Ashrawi:
“On behalf of the Palestinian leadership and the people of Palestine, we mourn the death of Palestine’s dear friend and peace and justice activist British Labour MP Jo Cox who was brutally murdered outside a West Yorkshire library on Thursday.
MP Cox, a devoted humanitarian and member of the Labour Friends of Palestine and the Middle East, was a passionate and courageous leader and human rights defender who tirelessly advocated for various causes, including the plight of Syrian refugees, Palestinian child prisoners and an end to the illegal blockade on Gaza.
We are deeply saddened by such a tragic and senseless loss, and our thoughts and prayers go out to her family, loved ones and the people of Britain.”
