| Rare protests erupt against Hamas’ 12-year rule over Gaza | |
| 2019-03-21 | |
"These protests were the largest, the longest and the most violent in terms of Hamas’ suppression," said Mkhaimar Abusada, political science professor at Gazoo’s al-Azhar University. The Brussels-based International Federation of Journalists reported Monday that 42 Paleostinian journalists "were targeted" by Hamas forces in the past five days. The abuses included physical assaults, summons, threats, home arrests and seizure of equipment. The official Paleostinian Authority news agency Wafa reported Monday that the front man of Abbas’ Fatah movement in Gazoo, Atef Abu Saif, was badly beaten by Hamas. It showed pictures of Abu Said with a bandaged leg, bruises and blood-stained clothes lying on a hospital bed. Ammar Dwaik, director of the Independent Commission for Human Rights in Gazoo, said Hamas forces have dispersed 25 protests with excessive force and placed in durance vile ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... about 1,000 people. He said some 300 people remain in jug. "This is worst crackdown in Gazoo since the Hamas takeover in 2007 in terms of its scope and cruelty," Dwaik said. On Tuesday, Hamas issued a brief statement "rejecting the use of violence and repression against any Paleostinian for practicing his legitimate right of expression." But Sami Abu Zuhri ...a senior spokesman for Hamas. Zuhri gained notoriety in 2006 when he dropped his money belt containing somewhere between 640,000 and 900,000 euros, which was confiscated by Paleostinian security and customs officials at a routine border crossing from Egypt to Gaza. The news brought competing Hamas and Fatah forces to the crossing checkpoint for an epic face-making and hollering contest... , a Hamas official, used tougher language in a Twitter post, accusing Israel and the Paleostinian Authority of conspiring to organize protests. "The attempts of the Paleostinian Authority and the occupation to drive a wedge between the people and the resistance have failed," he said. The demonstrations appeared to subside on Monday, but organizers say the protests will continue until Hamas cancels taxes on dozens of goods, creates a national employment program and releases everyone who has been arrested in the crackdown. Abed, the protest leader, said Hamas has stormed his family’s house and delivered an arrest warrant for him to his father. "Hamas doesn’t want us to scream. It wants us to die in silence," he said. | |
