The Israeli Municipality in the Occupied City forces a family to Demolish their own Residence
April 1, 2013, the Israeli Municipality in the Occupied City forced Maha abu al Hawa to demolish her own residence which is located in AS Suwwana in the Occupied City of Jerusalem.
In 2005, the family amended a 26-m2 room to their residence; soon after the completion of construction, an inspector of the Municipality showed up and penalized the family for unlicensed construction.
In June, 2006, an Israeli Court approved the 7,000 ILS penalty and ordered the family to demolish the newly added room. In 2008, the Court ordered the family to pay an additional penalty of 6,000 ILS. The family applied for a construction permit which was rejected by the Court.
Once again, the family applied for a new construction permit with a modified scheme which included a larger plot but the second application was also rejected.
On March 19, 2013, the Israeli Court ordered the demolition of the residence and imprisonment of the owner unless she removes the amended room; the owner complied and demolition the section on April 1, 2013.
