In a joint note, over 200 human rights organizations from different parts of the world expressed solidarity with the main Palestinian civil society entities that were attacked by the Israeli Occupying Forces in August this year (2022) in which Conectas is one of the signatories.

In addition to condemning the attacks, the NGOs are also calling on the international community for effective measures to end all actions that deny Palestinians their inalienable human rights.
