\r\n\tThe autopsy conducted on the body Abd al-Fatah al-Sharif on Sunday confirmed that the 21-year-old Palestinian activist was still alive before a bullet fired at his head at point-blank range by an Israeli trooper killed him, according to a statement from the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tPalestinian doctor Rayan al-Ali, who attended al-Sharif's autopsy, said: “The results of the autopsy were expected.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tWhat the whole world saw on the video that documented the shooting was more than enough, but the autopsy results assured it.
\r\n\t
\r\n\t” He added in his statement that he would hold a press conference on Monday to give further details about the results of the autopsy, which took place at the Israeli Institute for Forensic Medicine in Abu Kabir near Tel Aviv.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tA court order by the Israeli Supreme Court Thursday denied an appeal to allow a Palestinian doctor to partake in the autopsy itself.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe court later granted permission for al-Ali to merely attend and take notes for the autopsy report of al-Sharif, whose killing by an Israeli trooper on March 24 has been branded by the UN as an “extrajudicial execution.”<\/p>\r\n
