Israel digs mass graves - covering up war crimes

Eyewitnesses stated that Israeli forces are now digging large holes
inside Jenin refugee camp and in surrounding areas. They have stated
their fears that these are mass graves
Israel digs mass graves - covering up war crimes
10 April 2002
This morning, April 10, LAW has managed to obtain the following
information from Jenin refugee camp. Residents of the refugee camp report
that they were first moved from the camp. Eyewitnesses stated that
Israeli forces are now digging large holes inside Jenin refugee camp and
in surrounding areas. They have stated their fears that these are mass
graves, where the several killed (numbers still to be confirmed) in the
refugee camp will be buried. Eyewitnesses saw Israeli forces putting
bodies inside the holes. The area is located in the middle of the camp,
also known as Haret al-Hawarish.
LAW has sought assistance from the international humanitarian agencies to
enter the area and document the current activities of Israeli forces and
photograph evidence of how the dead were killed, but has been advised
that it is currently too dangerous to enter the refugee camp to do so.
LAW believes that these current actions suggest an intention to hide
evidence of Israeli war crimes committed in Jenin refugee camp.
They follow statements made by Israeli foreign minister Shimon Peres in
Ha'aretz, April 9, 2002, that a "massacre" has been carried out in the
camps and statements made by Israeli army officers that "the soldiers are
almost not advancing on foot. The bulldozers are simply 'shaving' the
homes and causing terrible destruction. When the world sees the pictures
of what we have done there, it will do us immense damage."
"However many wanted men we kill in the refugee camp, and however much of
the terror infrastructure we expose and destroy there, there is still no
justification for causing such great destruction."
Peter Hansen, director of UNRWA also confirmed on April 7, 2002, that "We
are getting reports of pure horror - that helicopters are strafing
residential areas, that systematic shelling by tanks has created hundreds
of wounded, that bulldozers are razing refugee homes and that food and
medicine will soon run out. In the name of human decency the Israeli
military must allow our ambulances safe passage to help evacuate the
wounded and deliver emergency supplies of medicine and food."
These statements confirm reports received from Jenin refugee camp earlier
this week, reported by LAW in its press releases of April 8 and 9 and
LAW's Weekly Round ups.
LAW's attorney Hanan Khatib has lodged a pre-petition with the Israeli
State Attorney's office to stop these mass grave burials and allow access
for LAW's legal team to investigate the circumstances of their deaths.
Yesterday evening, LAW received reports directly from Jenin and Nablus of
an escalated military assault, including in Jenin refugee camp,
bombardment from Apache helicopter gunships; F15 and F16 war planes
shelling the old city of Nablus and Balata refugee camp; and further
deployment of Israeli tanks.
LAW reaffirms that these military assaults targeting civilians throughout
the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including Jenin and Nablus amount
to war crimes and crimes against humanity. LAW condemns as well these
ongoing attempts to prevent access for human rights monitors,
journalists, and humanitarian agencies to these sites of mass killings to
investigate and document evidence of war crimes and crimes against
humanity.
LAW urgently appeals again to member states to apply effective measures,
including in the form of economic sanctions, to pressure Israel to accept
an international protection presence, end its gross violations, war
crimes and crimes against humanity, and genuinely commit to final peace
negotiations.
LAW welcomes the recent moves by states to impose an arms embargo,
including by the Government of Germany, but believes that stronger
measures, in particular, economic sanctions and immediate deployment of
an international protection force is vital for the protection of
civilians.
LAW calls again on member states, including as High Contracting Parties
to the Fourth Geneva Convention, to comply with their obligations under
article 146 by searching for, investigating and bringing to trial
perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity, under universal
jurisdiction and through a War Crimes Tribunal and calls for an end to
all acts by member states aiding and abetting the perpetration of war
crimes and crimes against humanity, including by ending supply of all
arms used to perpetrate such crimes.

report from jenin
by imc palestine * Thursday April 11, 2002 at 05:08 AM
A young Palestinian man was forced from his home in Jenin, and used as a
human shield by Israeli soldiers. His back and neck are burned by
cigarettes.
548 Palestinian men now living in Romani has
been dumped by Israeli soldiers at nearby Salem checkpoint after having
been arrested or escaping from Jenin. 160 were dumped naked outside of
Syba. We heard several stories of horror from the men.
A Palestinian UNRWA employee was detained at a checkpoint for three days
without food, and only Israeli soldiers urine to drink. The right side of
his face paralyzed due to severe beating. The Israeli interrogators,
described as torturers, told the imprisoned man that all UNRWA employees
are spies for Hezbollah. When asking the Israeli doctors to loosen his
severely tight plastic handcuffs, the doctor only tightened them further.
His home in Jenin caught fire, which was saved by firefighters, only to be
bombed by an Apache helicopter. He does not know what has become of his
family.
A young Palestinian man was forced from his home in Jenin, and used as a
human shield by Israeli soldiers. His back and neck are burned by
cigarettes.
A Red Crescent ambulance driver, was arrested for feeding 200 women and
children for 3 days. When the food ran out, the 200 left the medical
center, heading for the Eastern side of Jenin. All werestopped, while some
women, and all of the men were forced to strip naked.
At the school in Kyba, which is serving as a refugee camp for the arrested
and escaped from Jenin refugee camp, there is a list on the wall of those
detainees released from Salem checkpoint. In nearby Romani, the mosque
loud speaker which otherwise projects a call to prayer, called out names
of the missing and the disappeared from Jenin.
In Jenin there is no electricity so recharging cell phones is impossible
as is getting television news. Communication gathering in and out of the
camp and surrounding area are next to impossible.
