| [AnNahar] Paleostinian authorities in the West Bank and the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... Strip systematically torture critics in detention, a practice that could amount to crimes against humanity, an international rights group said Friday. Human Rights Watch called in its report for donor countries to cut off funding to Paleostinian security forces that commit such crimes and urged the International Criminal Court to investigate. The report alleged that Paleostinian security forces "use solitary confinement and beatings, including whipping their feet, and force detainees into painful stress positions for prolonged periods, including hoisting their arms behind their backs with cables or rope, to punish and intimidate critics and opponents and elicit confessions." HRW's report comes a year after the death of Nizar Banat, an outspoken critic of the Paleostinian Authority, whose family says he died after security forces stormed his residence in the middle of the night and beat him with metal batons. His death sparked weeks of protests against the PA, which governs parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Paleostinian security forces "More than a year after beating to death Nizar Banat, the Paleostinian Authority continues to arrest and torture critics and opponents," said Omar Shakir, Israel and Paleostine director at Human Rights Watch. "Systematic abuse by the PA and Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", forms a critical part of the repression of the Paleostinian people." The group listed Paleostinians who it said had been arbitrarily arrested in the aftermath of Banat's death. HRW said security forces are not held to account for the alleged torture and that given their systematic nature over many years, the practice could amount to crimes against humanity. Paleostine is part of the Convention Against Torture, which requires members to work to prevent torture. The report also describes Israeli mistreatment and torture of Paleostinian detainees in the West Bank, saying that no indictments have been issued against Israeli security forces despite hundreds of complaints made over the last 20 years. |
