Hamas gebruikt ziekenhuizen Gaza als gevangenis

 

Omdat Israel de meeste politiebureaus en andere gebouwen van Hamas kapot had gebombardeerd, heeft Hamas noodgedwongen maar ziekenhuizen en inrichtingen voor psychiatrische patienten in detentie- en martelcentra voor dissidente Fatahleden en 'verraders' veranderd. Je moet nou eenmaal wel de juiste prioriteiten stellen. Vreemd genoeg meldde het journaal wel uitvoerig hoe sterk Hamas nog was en hoe weinig beschadigd maar deze praktijk, die, laten we zeggen niet geheel volgens de regels is, wordt geheel genegeerd.

Palestinian Authority: Hamas used Gaza hospitals as detention centers

The Palestinian Authority's health ministry on Saturday accused the militant movement Hamas of turning some of its medical facilities in the Gaza Strip into detention centers.

 

After Israel stopped 23 days of aerial and ground attacks in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip last month, "Hamas unfortunately used several facilities, mainly a large number of hospitals, as stations for summons, interrogation, torture and detention," the Ramallah-based ministry said in a statement.

 

The ministry also claimed Hamas sacked tens of employees, loyal to Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement, who broke their general strike and returned to their work after Israel launched it assault on December 27.
 
The Israel Air Force aerial bombardment, which preceded a large-scale ground invasion on January 3, destroyed most of the police stations and civil administration departments of the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip.

 

According to the statement, Hamas specifically seized some buildings in Shifa, the main hospital in the city, al-Nasser pediatric clinic and the psychiatric hospital.
