Violation: The issuing of 9 Stop work orders
Location: The village of Haris
Date: January 29, 2012
Details:
A new wave of Stop Work orders were distributed on Sunday January 29, 2012, in the village Haris, north east of the city of Salfeet. The Orders were issued by the so-called Israeli “Civil Administration” under the usual pretext of building without a permit in Area C. The occupation forces gave the affected population until the 14th of February to file for an objection of these Orders. In case the Orders were developed into Final Demolition Orders, then 46 Palestinians including 26 children will become homeless.
It has to be pointed out that the village of Haris is considered one of the most affected towns and villages in the Governorate of Salfeet by the intentional Israeli policy of house demolition andor Stop work orders. Currently, there are more than 25 structures that have received Stop Work Orders under the pretext of being built without a permit in areas classified as Area C. These structures range from residential to agricultural.
