Amnesty International, releasing its annual report for 2001 yesterday, accused Israel of unlawfully killing hundreds of Palestinians and said the Palestinian Authority had arrested hundreds of people for their political opinions, with torturing apparently widespread.
In dry language, the report on Israel noted: "More than 460 Palestinians were killed during 2001 by the Israeli security forces; most were unlawfully killed. Among the victims were 79 children and 32 individuals targeted for assassination. More than 2,000 Palestinians were arrested for security reasons. There were widespread reports of police brutality. Palestinian detainees frequently reported that they were tortured or ill-treated during interrogation.
"At the end of the year at least 40 people were under administrative detention. At least 33 conscientious objectors were imprisoned during 2001. Hundreds of Palestinians from the Occupied Territories were tried before military courts in trials whose procedures fell short of international standards. Collective punishments against Palestinians included closures of towns and villages, demolition of more than 350 Palestinian homes and prolonged curfews," the report said.
As for abuses by Palestinians, the 42-year-old rights watchdog noted, "Palestinian armed groups killed 187 Israelis, including 154 civilians.
"Hundreds of people, including prisoners of conscience, were arrested for political reasons during 2001. Those arrested included people suspected of 'collaborating' with the Israeli authorities and suspected members of armed opposition groups. Reports of torture and ill-treatment were widespread. Three people died in custody. Twelve people were sentenced to death and two people were executed."
Thank goodness we have Amenesty International to write reports about these horrifying human rights violations.
I understand the Jews also murdered millions of Nazi children in the 40s, not to mention their pets.
Amnesty International has been aiding muslim expansionists and terrorists in Bosnia and Kosovo, and they still aid and abet the illegitmate occupation and islamization of these two Yugoslav territories. Now they--and the rest of the phony human rightser crew--are aiding in the muslim conquest of FYR Macedonia.
The whole sick human rightser cabal serve as known agents of the New World Order empire in the Balkans. Their statements and actions in the Holy Land are right in character. How DISGUSTING to take a noble concept like human rights and turn it inside out to serve the NWO and their muslim attack dogs!!!!
I wonder what she thinks of pedestian mall and pizza parlor executions of women and children? What about Shalhevet Pass?

Moderators: If the Breaking News sidebar needs to be cleaned up, then fine, do it. But some uniform standards should be applied. There are 4-day-old stories and stories that turned out to be nothing that are still there. And anything and everything about Enron is NOT breaking news.
Whatever you do is OK with me!
As it is, you always leave me wanting more.
With pleasure. Bttt
This week the state of New York announced that it would require all medical students to participate in training in abortion. This is without a doubt the number one human rights violation of my lifetime. What is the position of AI regarding abortion? What steps is your organization taking to end this horrendous activity?
I have searched your web site, and find you are quite silent on this issue. There can be no neutrality on this issue...the most dangerous place in the United States of America is the mother's womb. Millions of babies have been murdered each year since Roe v Wade. It is my judgment that the State of New York could be charged with being an accessory to murder, mandating the training of doctors to take innocent lives.
I am concerned that their hypocrisy is glaring through. Just watched their C-SPAN presw conference. Noone asked this question, and they certainly didn't report on it.
