“We believe that sexual violence offenses must be part of any indictment filed against terrorists detained in Israel, if and when the prosecution decides to move forward,” said Adv. Nava Bar-Or, co-author of the Dinah Report
(July 13, 2025 / JNS) “Rapists cannot be deemed freedom fighters,” Adv. Nava Bar-Or, a retired Israeli judge who formerly served on the Jerusalem District Court and as deputy state attorney for criminal affairs, told JNS.
Bar-Or is a member of the Dinah Project, an initiative advocating for recognition of and justice for victims of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) on Oct. 7, 2023 and beyond.
Together with professor Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, Att. Col. (res.) Sharon Zagagi-Pinhas and Ita Prince-Gavison, Bar-Or co-authored the Dinah Project report—the most comprehensive account to date of sexual crimes committed by Hamas terrorists, based on first-hand testimonies.
