| Human rights association robbed in Gaza |
| 2009-11-16 |
| [Ma'an] Unidentified assailants broke into the offices of the Al-Dameer Association for Human Rights in Gaza City and stole several items, director of Al-Dameer Khalil Abu Shammala said on Sunday. Abu Shammala asserted that the incident was not a robbery, but rather an attempt to steal data concerning the association. He refused to accuse any particular association or person. According to Abu Shammala, the assailants stole two computers and the memory stick of a digital camera, pointing out that more valuable assets were not stolen, proving that the assault was not a robbery, he said during a telephone interview. "The door was opened seemingly using a special tool," Abu Shammala said. Abu Shammala called on the de facto government to reveal the assailants, describing the assault as "piracy against a national foundation." The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine denounced the break-in, and speculated that the purpose of the raid was to acquire information on the organization rather than a simple robbery. In a statement, the leftist faction said it was not the first time organizations had been attacked in Gaza in recent weeks, and urged police to immediately bring to justice the perpetrators and step up protection for human rights groups in the future. |

| #2 "The door was opened seemingly using a special tool," No doubt by some infernal device invented by the perfidious Juice to damage innocent Palestinian entranceways. |
