LONDON,(PIC)– The Arab Organization for Human Rights in Britain (AOHR) considered the decision of PA President Mahmoud Abbas to keep the same committee led by Tawfiq Tirawi in charge of investigating Arafat’s death as a “disregard for the Palestinian people after eight years of its formation without achieving a noteworthy breakthrough.”

The organization called, in a statement on Sunday, for forming an independent commission which has no relation with the Israeli or western security institutions. “The time has come for the Palestinian people to say loudly to the PA it is enough that eight lean years have passed without any achievement under the pretext of the inability to end or replace the committee’s members who should be investigated,” the statement said.

The organization added that the PA’s insistence to keep the same committee for eight years despite its failure raises many questions about the PA intentions, pointing out that the Palestinian people want a committee of trustworthy experts who have no relation with the Israeli or western security institutions.

The statement urged the Palestinian Legislative Council, elected by the Palestinian people, to take over the task of forming a committee of Inquiry into the assassination of former Palestinian President Yasser Arafat in cooperation with the international experts who have discovered the toxic substance to oversee the exhumation of Arafat’s body and take the necessary samples to be tested as soon as possible.

The Arab Organization for Human Rights in Britain considered the keeping of the same committee since eight years led by Tawfiq Tirawi as a deliberate futility that aims to hide all evidence that may lead to uncover the death circumstances and the real culprits, the statement continued.
