ACT NOW for Ahmed Al Moughrabi
 |
indicted and judged 2002 with 18 sentences on lifetime, denied of family visits since 2004, held in solitary confinement since 2004. Your Excellency, I am writing to express my deeply concerns about the conditions Ahmed Al Moughrabi is held at Ramon Prison Israel since 2004. As is the case with so many others there are very serious, well-founded concerns that the treatment of Ahmed Al Moughrabi is politically motivated. The conditions of isolation to which Ahmed Al Moughrabi, as well as many other Palestinian prisoners are subjected are sufficiently harsh as to have aroused international concern. • The Fourth Geneva Convention, Article 119, clearly stipulated the illegality of the continuing isolation of the prisoner more than thirty days, regardless of the offense he made. In addition to the needless brutality of the conditions to which Ahmed Al Moughrabi is being subjected, I am concerned that the coercive nature of these conditions -- along with their serious psychological effects such as depression, paranoia, or hopelessness -- may undermine his ability to meaningfully cooperate. Thus, such harsh conditions are counter to the interests of justice. Given the nature and effects of the solitary confinement to which Ahmed Al Moughrabi is being subjected, I call upon you • to rectify the inhumane, harmful, and counterproductive treatment of Ahmed Al Moughrabi immediately. • furthermore, I call upon you to immediately take steps to fulfill the following measures: • To immediately demand the end to the use of isolation and solitary confinement against Palestinian prisoners; • To take effective and public action to meet the critical demands of the Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike, to respect the prisoners' dignity and human rights; • To take effective and public action against Israel's widespread use of torture against Palestinian prisoners and detainees; • To immediately demand that sick and injured prisoners are provided with adequate and appropriate medical treatment; • To pressure Israel to allow unobstructed family visits by Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, without glass, shackles or other obstructions; • To pressure Israel to respect prisoners' rights to unrestricted lawyers' visits; • To urgently increase the frequency of visits by the ICRC to Israeli prisons; • To insist that visits by ICRC staff to Israeli prisons also include the provision of urgently needed items such as clothes, underwear, shoes, sanitary products and educational materials; • To coordinate this work with the needs and demands of the Palestinian public, including prisoners' families and human rights organizations. Palestinian prisoners' lives and health are at stake in their courageous effort to defend their dignity and human rights within a system that is rife with physical and psychological torture, abuse, and deprivation. Please be assured that the international community is watching this case very closely. Sincerely, FAX, CALL, MAIL, STORM !!!

ACT NOW for Hana Al Shalabi
 | |||
.
JUST GO FOR Hana Al Shalabi !!! Sample Letter: Your Excellency, I am writing to urge you to immediately suspend the administrative detention order of Hana Al Shalabi, Jenin, Sharoun prison. As is the case with so many others there are very serious, well-founded concerns that the charges brought against Hana Al Shalabi were politically motivated. Israeli administrative detention orders are the subject of review and further appeal by a military court, neither lawyers nor detainees are permitted to see the “secret information” used as a basis for the detention orders. This violates international human rights law, which permits some limited use of administrative detention in emergency situations, but requires that the authorities follow basic rules for detention, including a fair hearing at which the detainee can challenge the reasons for his or her detention. 1 These minimum rules of due process have been clearly violated in Hana Al Shalabi's case, leaving her without any legitimate means to defend herself. 1 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Art. 9. 2 Fourth Geneva Convention, Art. 78. In addition to contradicting international human rights and humanitarian law Hana Al Shalabi's administration detention also violates article 5 (the right to liberty and security) of the European Convention on Human Rights. It is in this context that I call on you to act and in accordance with international human rights treaties to which Israel is a signatory state, as well as the Israeli Constitution itself, is therefore obligated to undertake the following: * . Immediately and unconditionally release Hana Al Shalabi; pending the conclusion of the review--and the dismissal of all charges if the convictions are found to be in violation of the above-mentioned international legal norms (the observance of which the Israel is treaty-bound to observe.) * . Immediately put an end to its practice of administrative detention and arbitrary arrests; * Immediately and thorough legal investigation into charges that Hana Al Shalabi was tortured, as well as investigations into other questions of legal irregularities surrounding this case--all carried out in strict accordance with established international norms of justice. Please be assured that the international community is watching this case very closely. Sincerely,
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon

THREAT Bassem Tamimi
 |
| THREAT Bassem Tamimi ~ unbreakable ! *the first section is about Bassems actual "trial", credits to occupied palestine *the second section a letter he has written to Ofer court on behalf of his "defending" in 2009. Palestinian activist to judge: I do not recognize your rules Bassem Tamimi from Nabi Saleh testified yesterday as part of the defense’s case in the ongoing trial against him. Tamimi, suspected of protest related charges, was arrested on March last year, and remains in detention since. Bassem Tamimi photo: ActiveStills After 11 months in an Israeli jail, Bassem Tamimi, a prominent Palestinian activist from Nabi Saleh, was given a chance to plead his case before the military court in regards to the allegations against him, denying them in full while owning up to his and his village’s struggle against the Occupation and the theft of their lands. Tamimi, who was recognized by the European Union as a human rights defender last year, said, “International law gives us the right to peaceful protest, to demonstrate our refusal of the policies that hurt us, our daily life and the future of our children”. Media contact: Jonathan Pollak +972-54-632-7736 Tamimi began his testimony by telling of his past experience in Israeli prisons and interrogation rooms. He recounted how he was tortured so badly by the Israeli Shin Bet in 1993 that he suffered a severe Intracranial hemorrhage which left him unconscious for a week and partially paralyzed. He then continued to explain the reason behind the Nabi Saleh protests, saying “I do not know and do not care if they are permitted by your law, as it was enacted by an authority I do not recognize”. He narrated how the settlers from the nearby Halamish continuously took over lands belonging to his village since the 1970s abetted by the army and how, when villagers tried to prevent the latest attempts to seize their lands, the Israeli army exerted repression tactics against them. “Every time we try to help them work the land, before we reach it, they disperse us using rubber bullets, tear gas and using excessive force. This is what happens every Friday”, he said. Based on coerced statements extracted unlawfully by the Israeli police from two minors, Tamimi is charged with organizing his village of 500 people in a formation of 11 battalions and assigning them different roles during the demonstrations. When asked of his reply to the charges against him Tamimi answered: This is ridiculous and makes no sense, how stupid would I be to try and organize a 500 people village in 11 battalions [...] If indeed there were such battalions how come the Shin Bet or anyone else did not continue the investigation and arrests after mine was carried out? No one continued to look into this issue to try and dismantle this ‘army’ of mine…True justice would not have me stand here before this court at all, let alone while I am imprisoned and shackled. This case is baseless and made up with the sole goal of putting me behind bars… During the course of Tamimi’s trial, new evidence has emerged, including proof of systematic violations of Palestinian minors’ rights during police interrogations (see video below) as well as first hand verification given by a military commander of disproportional use of force by the army in response to peaceful demonstrations. Non-violence activist Bassem Tamimi's address to Israel's Ofer military court during his trial for organizing protests in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh. A military judge refused to allow Tamimi to read his full statement in court. Your Honor, I hold this speech out of belief in peace, justice, freedom, the right to live in dignity, and out of respect for free thought in the absence of Just Laws. Every time I am called to appear before your courts, I become nervous and afraid. Eighteen years ago, my sister was killed by in a courtroom such as this, by a staff member. In my lifetime, I have been nine times imprisoned for an overall of almost 3 years, though I was never charged or convicted. During my imprisonment, I was paralyzed as a result of torture by your investigators. My wife was detained, my children were wounded, my land was stolen by settlers, and now my house is slated for demolition. I was born at the same time as the Occupation and have been living under its inherent inhumanity, inequality, racism and lack of freedom ever since. Yet, despite all this, my belief in human values and the need for peace in this land have never been shaken. Suffering and oppression did not fill my heart with hatred for anyone, nor did they kindle feelings of revenge. To the contrary, they reinforced my belief in peace and national standing as an adequate response to the inhumanity of Occupation. International law guarantees the right of occupied people to resist Occupation. In practicing my right, I have called for and organized peaceful popular demonstrations against the Occupation, settler attacks and the theft of more than half of the land of my village, Nabi Saleh, where the graves of my ancestors have lain since time immemorial. I organized these peaceful demonstrations in order to defend our land and our people. I do not know if my actions violate your Occupation laws. As far as I am concerned, these laws do not apply to me and are devoid of meaning. Having been enacted by Occupation authorities, I reject them and cannot recognize their validity. Despite claiming to be the only democracy in the Middle East you are trying me under military laws which lack any legitimacy; laws that are enacted by authorities that I have not elected and do not represent me. I am accused of organizing peaceful civil demonstrations that have no military aspects and are legal under international law. We have the right to express our rejection of Occupation in all of its forms; to defend our freedom and dignity as a people and to seek justice and peace in our land in order to protect our children and secure their future. The civil nature of our actions is the light that will overcome the darkness of the Occupation, bringing a dawn of freedom that will warm the cold wrists in chains, sweep despair from the soul and end decades of oppression. These actions are what will expose the true face of the Occupation, where soldiers point their guns at a woman walking to her fields or at checkpoints; at a child who wants to drink from the sweet water of his ancestors' fabled spring; against an old man who wants to sit in the shade of an olive tree, once mother to him, now burnt by settlers. We have exhausted all possible actions to stop attacks by settlers, who refuse to adhere to your courts' decisions, which time and again have confirmed that we are the owners of the land, ordering the removal of the fence erected by them. Each time we tried to approach our land, implementing these decisions, we were attacked by settlers, who prevented us from reaching it as if it were their own. Our demonstrations are in protest of injustice. We work hand in hand with Israeli and international activists who believe, like us, that had it not been for the Occupation, we could all live in peace on this land. I do not know which laws are upheld by generals who are inhibited by fear and insecurity, nor do I know their thoughts on the civil resistance of women, children and old men who carry hope and olive branches. But I know what justice and reason are. Land theft and tree-burning is unjust. Violent repression of our demonstrations and protests and your detention camps are not evidence of the illegality of our actions. It is unfair to be tried under a law forced upon us. I know that I have rights and my actions are just. The military prosecutor accuses me of inciting the protesters to throw stones at the soldiers. This is not true. What incites protesters to throw stones is the sound of bullets, the Occupation’s bulldozers as they destroy the land, the smell of teargas and the smoke coming from burnt houses. I did not incite anyone to throw stones, but I am not responsible for the security of your soldiers who invade my village and attack my people with all the weapons of death and the equipment of terror. These demonstrations that I organize have had a positive influence over my beliefs; they allowed me to see people from the other side who believe in peace and share my struggle for freedom. Those freedom fighters have rid their conscious from the Occupation and put their hands in ours in peaceful demonstrations against our common enemy, the Occupation. They have become friends, sisters and brothers. We fight together for a better future for our children and theirs. If released by the judge will I be convinced thereby that justice still prevails in your courts? Regardless of how just or unjust this ruling will be, and despite all your racist and inhumane practices and Occupation, we will continue to believe in peace, justice and human values. We will still raise our children to love; love the land and the people without discrimination of race, religion or ethnicity; embodying thus the message of the Messenger of Peace, Jesus Christ, who urged us to "love our enemy." With love and justice, we make peace and build the future. |
