Amnesty Says Israel
'Excessive' In Territories
London (JTA) — Amnesty
International, the London-
based human rights
organization, has accused
Israel .of using "excessive
and indiscriminate force" in
response to the Palestinian
uprising in the West Bank
and Gaza Strip.
The "death or injury of
thousands, including many
children," were the conse-
quence, according to
Amnesty's 1989 report,
released Oct. 25.
The 310-page report
details extra-judicial kill-
ings and human rights
violations in 133 countries.
Iran, Iraq and Israel with
the territories it administers
have the longest entries of
the 18 countries in the 34-
page section on the Middle
East and. North Africa.
The report says that at
least nine Palestinians
reportedly died from
beatings in 1988 while "in
the hands of Israeli forces."
At least five died "in
suspicious circumstances"
while in detention, and
others died "apparently as a
result of deliberate misuse of
tear gas by Israeli forces,"
the report says.
It states that more than
5,000 Palestinians were de-
tained without charge or
trial, some of whom were
"prisoners of conscience."
Hundreds of teen-agers
and young people were
"summarily" tried and im-
prisoned, "often without
legal representation,"
Amnesty charges.
Iraq is accused of "a
systematic and deliberate
policy" to "eliminate large
numbers of Kurdish
civilians," 400 of whom, in-
cluding women and children,
Iran is charged with
the execution of
more than 1,200
political prisoners.
were said to have been
murdered by the military in
one day.
Iran is charged with the
execution of more than 1,200
political prisoners.
In Egypt, thousands of po-
litical and religious activists
were arrested under
emergency laws in effect
since 1981, the report says.
Syria is accused of continu-
ing to detain thousands of
"actual or suspected oppo-
nents of the government."
Torture there is reported to
be "routine and wide-
spread."
Israel Cabinet Denies
S. Africa Nuclear Ties
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
government is seriously con-
cerned by allegations in the
American news media that
Israel is collaborating with
South Africa in the de-
velopment of ballistic mis-
siles and nuclear weapons.
The Cabinet on Sunday
issued a firm denial of the
reports.
Defense. Minister Yitzhak
Rabin was quoted officially
as saying that Israel has not
transferred military
technology to South Africa,
especially technology
originating in the United
States.
"There is no truth what-
soever" to reports about
"alleged links between
Israel and South Africa in
the nuclear field," Cabinet
Secretary Elyakim Rubins-
tein told reporters after the
ministers concluded their
weekly meeting.
He said it was also stressed
to the ministers that no
military hardware compris-
ing or including American
components has been ex-
ported to any country, in-
cluding South Africa,
without a U.S. license.
Allegations that Israel is
helping South Africa de-
velop ballistic missiles, in
exchange for enriched ura-
nium for its nuclear weapons
program, surfaced Oct. 25,
on the "NBC Nightly
News."
Later in the week, the
network reported that Israel
had provided Pretoria with
American technology it ob-
tained during joint efforts to
produce the now-abandoned
Lavi jet fighter.
The Defense Ministry has
denied both reports. But
Israel is worried about
their impact.
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir said he believed the
damaging reports were in-
tentionally leaked by per-
sons seeking to poison
Israel's relations with the
United States.
