Amnesty International blasts Hamas for Gaza summary executions
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe international group Amnesty International condemns Hamas for its summary execution of suspected collaborators with Israel.
Hamas killed 18 such people this morning and this afternoon alone.
“This flurry of executions by Hamas is made even more shocking by the fact that the victims were sentenced to death after trials which, if they happened at all, were summary and grossly unfair,” said Anne FitzGerald, Amnesty International’s Director of Research and Crisis Response.
“Hamas must immediately and totally cease its use of the death penalty,” she says.
