Occupied Jerusalem-SANA
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to call on the international community to stand up to its responsibilities and hold the Israeli occupation accountable for its continuous violations against the Palestinian people and to provide them with international protection.
In a statement on the occasion of the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, which falls today and was reported by Wafa Agency, the ministry explained that the United Nations Committee against Torture considered the policy of forced displacement and demolition of homes of Palestinian citizens among the collective punishments imposed by the occupation authorities on the Palestinian people as a form of torture and inhuman treatment with the aim of robbing Palestinians. Their right to self-determination and deepening the occupation by continuing to steal Palestinian land.
The ministry considered that the policy of deliberate medical neglect by the occupation against the prisoners in its prisons, which led to the martyrdom of 72 Palestinian prisoners inside its prisons, in addition to the detention of the bodies of hundreds of martyrs, represents a flagrant violation of international covenants and conventions related to human rights, especially the Fourth Geneva Convention.
The ministry affirmed that these inhumane violations affect the basic rights of the Palestinians in violation of the provisions of international law and the resolutions of the United Nations and its committees, stressing that ending the suffering of the Palestinian people can only be done by ending the colonial occupation of the land of the State of Palestine.
