    The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights is an independent legal body dedicated to the protection of human rights in the Gaza Strip. The video section of the PCHR’s website contains short films dating back to 2010 which document and explain the conflict using the information gathered through their work in legal counselling to individuals, promotion of democratic development, monitoring of the status of economic and social rights and legal assistance to women’s groups. Although many of the videos are about the negative impact of Israel’s policies, some are concerned with legislation introduced by the Palestinian Authority. For example, the Palestinian Authority’s Blatant Violations of Freedom of Speech: Cybercrime Law.
