Saturday, January 16, 2010 at 6:24
Following the issuance of an arrest warrant by a British court against Israel's former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, Istanbul-based Mazlum-Der, an Islamic human rights group, petitioned a prosecutor on Friday to start legal proceedings against Defense Minister Ehud Barak. The warrant is sought for alleged crimes committed against Palestinians during Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip.
So far, Turkey's Justice Ministry has rejected similar moves. Barak is expected to arrive Ankara on Sunday.
