Amnesty International (AI) called for an investigation mass arrests, ill-treatment and forced disappearances of Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.
“The Israeli military must urgently reveal the fate and whereabouts of all the people it has detained since October 7, including Nidal al-Wahidi and Haizam Abdelwahed, two journalists from Gaza who have been forcibly disappeared for more than two months,” he said in a statement. statement by NGO Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa Heba Morayev.
Thus, he asked the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to clarify reasons for all arrests and provide information to families, especially during power outages in the Gaza Strip.
Moraev recalled that “Israel has a terrible history of impunity for violations committed by its forces.”
That’s why he asked independent investigation of all deaths in custodyincluding also enforced disappearances, torture and other forms of ill-treatment.
Two journalists identified as Moraef were detained on October 7 while reporting on Hamas attacks on the border with the Palestinian enclave.
Israeli authorities have not provided information about his whereabouts. They were last seen at the Erez checkpoint.
AI also noted that Israel had confirmed the deaths in custody of at least six Palestinians, including two workers from the Gaza Strip, in October and November.
On the other hand, AI expressed concern about videos of Palestinian prisoners being “stripped of their clothes and forced to kneel on the ground in their underwear with their hands tied.”
The NGO was able to verify these records and geolocate at least three photographs, as well as videos, that were published on December 7, showing dozens of men detained by the army in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza.
“These people were deprived of their dignity and dehumanized, which is a violation of international law. Nothing can justify bullying or deliberate humiliation of detainees,” Moraev emphasized.
“The harrowing scenes in the Gaza Strip should draw international condemnation and justify an investigation and urgent action to prevent further torture, enforced disappearances and other crimes under international law,” he said. (Europe Press)
