URGENT ACTION
TWO MEN HANGED; MORE FACING EXECUTION
Two men known only as A.M.Gh. and H.J.Kh. were executed at the Jawazat police compound in Gaza on 22 June. They were convicted of collaborating with the enemy. At least 22 more people are at risk of execution.
A.M.Gh., aged 49 and from the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood in Gaza City, and H.J.Kh., aged 41 and from Khan Youis, were sentenced to death by the Military Court on 13 and 10 January 2013 respectively for collaboration with an enemy entity and espionage, under the Palestinian Revolutionary Penal Law of 1979. The Military Court of Appeals upheld their death sentences on 16 and 23 May.
Jamil Zakariya Juha (previously referred to only as J.Z.J.), aged 39, faces imminent execution after the Military High Court rejected his appeal on 14 February 2012. Ehab Diab Mustafa Abu al Amreen, aged around 29, faces execution for murder after the Court of Cassation upheld his death sentence on 29 October 2008. Another man known only as H.M.A., around 27 years old, was sentenced to death for murder by the Court of Appeal; it is not yet known whether his case has been brought before the Court of Cassation. According to sources in Gaza there are at least 22 people in prison facing the death penalty in Gaza, including at least six for collaboration with Israel. Worryingly, on 26 June 2013 the Attorney General in Gaza declared his intention to proceed with all executions of those accused of murder.
Please write immediately in Arabic or your own language:
Condemning the executions of A.M.Gh. and H.J.Kh. as applications of the ultimate form of cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment and urging them to ensure that death sentences against the men named above and any others sentenced to death are commuted or overturned;

(1,528 posts)I don't think Hamas really gives a shit over Amnesty International.
And note, other than the address , Hamas isn't even mentioned in the main body of the "urgent action".
Why is that???
Collaborator..... someone who dares to exhibit the dreaded freedom of speech.

(45,850 posts)as far as your 'insight' into Hamas only being mentioned once here's the mention and the purpose, which you strangely left out why?
Condemning the executions of A.M.Gh. and H.J.Kh. as applications of the ultimate form of cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment and urging them to ensure that death sentences against the men named above and any others sentenced to death are commuted or overturned;
Urging them to open thorough, impartial and independent investigations into reports that many accused of collaboration are said to have confessed under torture, and ensure that anyone found responsible for abuses be brought to justice in accordance with international fair trial standards.
