Fares: Intelligence officers compete on publishing the overnight arrests

 

 

The head of the Commission of Detainees' Affairs,  Qaddura Fares, stated that the reduced ethics of the occupation system violates the humanitarian standards and the principles of international humanitarian law.

In addition,  they publish pictures of detainees while being handcuffed and blindfolded.

 

Fares called upon international human rights organisations to assume their responsibility toward the Palestinian people,   and to hold Israel accountable for these violations that contradict international agreements and charters.
