Lawyers for Justice declares that, as part of its efforts to refute and disprove the false allegations made by suspicious social-media pages—which have attributed fabricated posts to the organization and to its director, Advocate Mohannad Karajah, particularly on Facebook—it has initiated legal procedures to pursue those involved in creating and promoting false and misleading content aimed at undermining its human-rights work and legal activities in the defense of human rights.
In this context, the organization announces that it has contacted several international human-rights institutions and organizations, which have in turn referred all fabricated materials to their specialized departments to verify the authenticity and origin of the posts. These organizations are currently coordinating with Facebook’s headquarters to establish the true source of the content, identify those responsible for producing and disseminating it—including individuals located in several countries who appear to be acting under instructions and directives intended to deter the organization from continuing its human-rights mission and to deviate it from its rights-based path.
In this same context, Lawyers for Justice calls on all competent authorities to fulfill their responsibilities in verifying the authenticity of these posts using the means and tools at their disposal, rather than being drawn behind fabricated content—particularly since Lawyers for Justice is widely known for its legal integrity and human-rights discourse aligned with international human-rights standards.
The organization also notes that throughout its years of work, it has faced numerous campaigns and conspiracies intended to undermine it, manipulate its positions, or pressure it into abandoning its principled commitment to human rights.
Accordingly, the organization affirms that it awaits the outcomes of the specialized investigations and correspondences regarding these fabricated posts, and reiterates that it will take legal action against any individual or entity proven to be involved. The results of these inquiries will be published on the organization’s official page.
The organization further clarifies that it has been operating in the cities of the occupied West Bank since its establishment, and that circumstances have never allowed it to work in the Gaza Strip—particularly given that it is not registered as an institution, organization, or association with the Palestinian Ministry of Interior.
