PHRMG-staff threathened to leave their work by unknown Palestinian
‘Committee to fight Corruption’
Four staff-members of the Palestinian Human Rights Monitoring Group (PHRMG)
have received letters and phone calls threatening them to resign from their
work at the organisation.
The letters were sent by mail to their private addresses. The letters are
signed by “Committees Fighting Corruption”, unknown to us.
The letters are defaming the organisation and the director, Bassem Eid.
Below find quotes from the letter:
“Bassem Eid has strong warm relations with the Jews, and foreigners,
especially after working with them in B’tselem which is a center for the
Israeli Mossad (Intelligence service), …..his office is a center of
corruption….All the Jewish journalists who come to his office are Israeli
agents who have in the past interrogated some nationalistic figures…..to
remain clean and respectable, we urge you to stay away from this dirty
wheel…..We inform you that the coming few days will reveal more facts about
this ugly person, Bassem Eid, an we will inform all the decent citizens
about this center of corruption and dirt…..This evil creature will
certainly get the end that he deserves”.
The letter is further threathening to mention the name of the staff members
in public communiques if they don’t resign their work.
The PHRMG will not accept any threats made against the organisation or the
staff of the organisation. We perceive these letters and phone calls as
attempts to destroy our work in the field by attacking our staff members,
and we reject outright the accusations made in the letters.
