The Hamas authorities in Gaza must halt several executions they say they plan to carry out after this week’s Muslim religious festival of Eid al-Fitr, Amnesty International has urged. Hamas’ Attorney General said last week that several convicted “criminals” are set to be executed in public as a “lesson” to others. “This and other recent announcements by Hamas authorities that they will carry out further executions are deeply disturbing,” said Philip Luther, Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Amnesty International… At least 40 prisoners are under sentence of death in Gaza, where torture and other ill-treatment against detainees in the custody of Hamas security agencies are widespread and systematic. http://www.amnesty.org/en/news/hamas-must-halt-post-eid-executions-planned-gaza-2013-08-08

Und so wirds gemacht:
Mitglieder der im Gaza-Streifen herrschenden Hamas haben sechs Palästinenser wegen angeblicher Kollaboration mit Israel öffentlich hingerichtet. Die Opfer seien gefesselt gewesen und ohne Gerichtsverhandlung auf der Straße im Norden von Gaza-Stadt erschossen worden, berichteten Augenzeugen am Dienstag. http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/hamas-richtet-im-gaza-streifen-sechs-kollaborateure-hin-a-868366.html
