-Caveat Lector- Assalamu'alaikum, Amnesty International advocates prosecuting Israeli war criminal Occupied Jerusalem: 5 August, 2001 (IAP News) - The London-based human rights organization, Amnesty International, has expressed support for the ongoing efforts in Denmark to prosecute Carmi Gillon, an Israeli war criminal who had personally practiced and continues to advocate physical and psychological torture on Palestinian political prisoners. The Danish newspaper, Poltikan, reported on Sunday that Amnesty international was supporting the idea of bringing Gillon to trial in Denmark or wherever possible for his role in torturing Palestinian inmates. The paper said the final decision to press charges against Gillon would have to be made at a conference to be held in Senegal in September. Last month, scores of Palestinian victims of torture made graphic testimonies on how they were tortured by professional torturers at Gillon's direct instructions when he was head of Israel's notorious General Security Service, known as Shabak or Shin Bet. Israel is the only country in the world where torture is sanctioned by the law. Since 1967, when Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip, hundreds of Palestinians died of torture in Israeli jails. The intensive use of torture in Israeli jails is aimed at achieving two purposes, extracting confessions from inmates and punishing them for their political views, e.g. opposing Israeli military occupation of their homeland. ===== Proudly Serving Palestine and AlQuds _________________________________ Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) 10661 South Roberts Rd, Suite 202 Palos Hills, IL 60465 Tel: 708 974 3380 / Fax: 708 974 3389 /Pager: 1 800 916 8286 http://www.iap.org E-mails:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
