London police tell victims to report 'terrorism, war crimes' committed in Palestine

The London Metropolitan Police has asked witnesses and victims to report "war crimes" committed in Palestinian territories, according to a British legal centre.

The police force had been previously criticised for making a similar appeal to travellers arriving from Israel who may have been exposed to acts of "terrorism" but not those coming from the Gaza Strip. 

The updated notice has been expanded to include those who have been in Palestinian territories and may have "witnessed or been a victim of terrorism, war crimes or crimes against humanity". 

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP), which is collecting evidence as part of its efforts to prepare a war crimes case against Israel, offered to help the public deliver such evidence to the police. 

UK police said any evidence gathered regarding war crimes in the region from June 2014 onward would be shared with the International Criminal Court, which is investigating such claims.
