"Jenin camp smells of death. Bodies are buried under the rubble of houses; others were crushed by tanks and others still lie in the streets"
Resident of Jenin (12 April 2002)

"The Palestinians must be hit and it must be painful. We must cause them losses, victims, so they feel the heavy price."
Ariel Sharon, Israeli Prime Minister (5 March 2002)

On Tuesday 16th April, the British Parliament will debate the current crisis in the Middle East. Amnesty International calls upon the British Government to act immediately to stop the ongoing violations of international human rights and humanitarian law by Israel.

unlawful killings of Palestinians
the deliberate destruction of Palestinian homes
the arbitrary arrests of 1000's of Palestinians
torture and inhumane treatment of Palestinians
deliberate targetting and killing of doctors, health workers and patients
the denial of access to international humanitarian organisations and journalists

PALESTINIAN ARMED GROUPS MUST STOP:

targeting of Israeli civilians
the Palestinian Authority must condemn and do all it can to prevent such attacks

THE UK GOVERNMENT MUST:

immediately suspend all transfers of weapons used to commit human rights violations by the Israeli security forces.
Call for the immediate deployment of an international observer mission to Israel and the Occupied Territories
