RED Card Israeli Racism (RCIR) commended the Palestinian Football Association (PFA) today for its laudable effort to boost Fifa’s commitment to human rights at football’s world governing body Congress.
The PFA were calling for Fifa’s members to pass a proposal to change Articles 3 and 4, which would see “sanctioning, by suspension or expulsion, any member association whose actions do not reflect Fifa’s commitment to international human rights.”
More than 120 unarmed Palestinian protesters have been brutally murdered, with a further 13,000 injured, by Israeli snipers during the recent Great Return March demonstrations being staged in Gaza.
