Amnesty International in a report released on Tuesday said that Hamas militants had committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip during last year’s conflict with Israel.
The report said that Hamas forces had “carried out a brutal campaign of abductions, torture and unlawful killings against Palestinians accused of ‘collaborating’ with Israel and others during Israel’s military offensive against Gaza.”
Amnesty accused the Hamas administration in the Gaza strip of granting “free rein to carry out horrific abuses including against people in its custody. These spine chilling actions, some of which amount to war crimes, we designed to exact revenge and spread fear across the Gaza Strip.”

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
