The European Union is appalled by the scenes unfolding on Friday during the funeral?procession?of the American-Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh?in occupied East Jerusalem.

The EU??condemns the disproportionate use of force?and the disrespectful behaviour by the Israeli police?against the participants of the mourning?procession.

Allowing for a peaceful farewell and letting mourners grieve in peace without harassment and humiliation, is the minimal human respect .

The EU reiterates its call for a?thorough and independent investigation that clarifies all the circumstances of Shireen Abu Akleh¡¯s death that brings those responsible for her killing to justice.
