US Judiciary Employees Condemn Genocide in Gaza

Washington-(ST)- 25 judicial employees in the United States issued a public statement in which they criticized the restrictions imposed by the American judiciary on their freedom to express their rejection of the crimes of the Israeli occupation entity against the Palestinians in Gaza Strip.
Reuters reported that the signatories to the statement, which was published by the “Bulls and Strikes” website specialized in court news and sponsored by “Demand Justice,” a legal defense organization, expressed their rejection of “the American administration’s complicity in genocide” committed by the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza.
The employees signed the statement anonymously and said they were forced to be “passive spectators to the Israeli attack on Gaza,” or face dismissal if they openly engaged in political activity.
The statement represents a rare instance of judiciary employees taking a public position on a public issue, albeit anonymously.
The staff noted that the judiciary’s ethics rules prohibit judges and staff alike from engaging in any political activity.
