Laporan UN: Israel menzalimi tahanan hamil

Beberapa kumpulan Hak Asasi Manusia mengutuk keras kerajaan pengganas Israel kerana memberi layanan buruk terhadap wanita-wanita Palestin yang mereka penjarakan.

Menurut laporan yang dikeluarkan oleh Addameer Prisoner Support dan Human Rights Association yang ditaja oleh  United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM,) wanita-wanita hamil yang dipenjarakan di Israel dihalang dari mendapatkan bantuan melahirkan anak di hospital.

Laporan tersebut juga menyebut bahawa wanita-wanita Palestin ditempatkan di penjara dan pusat-pusat tahanan Israel yang dibina untuk tahanan lelaki, yang langsung tidak memenuhi keperluan wanita.

Tahanan wanita yang mengandung tidak mendapat rawatan atau layanan yang diperlukan merangkumi keperluan makanan mahupun kemudahan untuk dipindahkan ke hospital. Malahan mereka juga dirantai ke katil sehinggalah mereka memasuki bilik bersalin, dan akan dibelenggu lagi sejurus selepas selamat bersalin.

“Pemakanan yang tidak seimbang, makanan yang tidak cukup protin, kekurang cahaya dan pergerakan, pengalihan udara yang amat buruk dan persekitaran yang lembap menyebabkan keadaan bertambah buruk dan meningkatnya masalah kesihatan seperti penyakit kulit, anemia, lelah, di samping sakit perut, sendi dan belakang yang berpanjangan,” jelas laporan tersebut.

Dalam pada itu, laporan tersebut juga mendedahkan bahawa majoriti tahanan wanita terpaksa berhadapan dengan tekanan mental dan siksaan semasa ditangkap, termasuklah tindakan melibatkan teknik memukul, hinaan, ugutan dan gangguan seksual. Kesan secara langsung terhadap anak-anak yang bakal dilahirkan adalah amat membimbangkan.

Laporan yang ditaja oleh United Nations ini adalah berdasarkan kepada kajian melibatkan 125 wanita Palestin yang pernah ditangkap, ditahan atau dipenjarakan di Israel antara bulan November 2007 dan November 2008. Separuh daripada mereka masih lagi dikurung, menjadi sebahagian daripada 11000 tahanan Palestin di penjara dan pusat-pusat tahanan Israel laknatullah.

Dalam perkembangan lain, Kementerian Hal-Ehwal Tahanan mengesahkan tahanan berbangsa Palestin dan Arab di Israel kini melebihi 11 ribu orang, termasuk 65 wanita dan sekurang-kurangnya 440 kanak-kanak. Kementerian juga menyangkal dakwaan bahawa hanya terdapat 58 tahanan wanita yang dipenjarakan.

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Jewish settlers shoot, critically wound Palestinian child

AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- A Palestinian child was critically wounded on Friday when armed Jewish settlers encircled a Palestinian house and fired randomly in its vicinity in Al-Khalil city, eyewitnesses reported.

They said that the boy was carried to hospital with serious wounds while the Israeli occupation forces command said that the boy was hit with a rubber-coated bullet fired by one of its troops while dispersing a demonstration. It claimed that the boy was throwing stones at the soldiers.

Meanwhile, the Bil'in villagers hit the streets of their village following the Friday congregation in their weekly protest march against the Israeli confiscation of their lands to build the separation fence.

IOF troops blocked the marchers' from crossing the main gate in the wall and fired sonic and gas bombs in addition to rubber bullets at them wounding three including an 8-year-old child while tens were treated for suffocation.

Six other Palestinians were wounded with rubber bullets fired by the IOF soldiers in the village of Ni'lin also during its inhabitants' weekly demonstration against land confiscation.

IOF soldiers broke up the demonstration by force and wounded the AFP photographer in the process while dozens suffered from suffocation.

Lihatlah, bagaimana saudara-saudara seakidah kita diperlakukan. Bukan setakat tentera mereka sahaja yang kejam, bahkan penduduk Yahudi pun sama juga kekejaman mereka. Semoga Allah memberi kekuatan kepada mereka.

Wallahu'alam...

Hamas: There is no difference between Obama and McCain

GAZA, (PIC)-- The Hamas Movement on Tuesday said that it sees no difference between the two main American presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain as far as the Palestine cause is concerned.

Fawzi Barhoum, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza, said in a press release that both affirmed their backing to the Israeli occupation on financial, moral and military levels.

He said that the policies of all former American administrations had caused destruction to the Palestinian people and led to the siege imposed on them and on their legitimate government in Gaza. He charged that those policies' unlimited support to the "Zionist occupiers" and the establishment of a "racist state" at the expense of the Palestinian rights are contributing to the destruction of the Palestine cause.

Barhoum explained that Hamas wants the new American president to respect the democratic choices of oppressed people including the Palestinian people and not to export "fake democracy" with force and finally to learn from the mistakes of the former administration of George Bush.

He warned of bias in favor the "Zionist occupiers", and asked the next American president to support Palestinian rights topped by an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital, releasing all detainees, return of refugees, knocking down the separation wall and ending Israeli colonialism.
