The president of the Australian Human Rights Commission has denied that staff have been sanctioned over expressing pro-Palestinian views, after staff wrote a letter stating the commission’s response on the Israel-Gaza war was inadequate.

Guardian Australia revealed last week that at least 24 staff across eight teams at the commission wrote anonymously to Rosalind Croucher at the end of January expressing “frustration at the commission’s failure to fulfil its mandate as an accredited national human rights institution in regard to Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank”.
