The shooting of Iyad al-Hallaq

,  Iyad al-Hallaq,

On 30 May 2020

^{[n 1]} (Arabic: إياد الحلاق ’iiad alhilaq)

a 32-year-old autistic Palestinian man,

was shot and killed by Israeli Police 

after not stopping at the 

Lions’ Gate checkpoint in Jerusalem 

when he was ordered to do

so by officers stationed nearby

. He fled from the area

and police attempted

to “neutralize”

Halaq during the chase with

at least seven shots fired

in his direction.^[1]

Halak’s relatives stated

he was an autistic man

who was heading to a school

for students with special needs

that he attended daily when

he was shot by police.

 Friends and family of Halaq

and the Secretary General of the 

Palestine Liberation Organization

 Saab Erekat, has drawn parallels with

 police brutality in the United States 

and the murder of George Floyd

---

Israeli officer charged

in killing of

autistic Palestinian

Iyad al-Halak

In a rare move,

border police officer faces

‘reckless manslaughter charges

and if convicted could face up

to 12 years in prison
