Amnesty Calls
For Protest
London (JTA) — Amnesty
International, the London-
based private human
rights organization, is ask-
ing visitors to nine coun-
tries, including Israel, to
write letters when they
return home, protesting
human rights violations in
those nations.
"We don't recommend you
take action while you are
there," an appeal letter sent
to Amnesty's 71,000 mem-
bers in the United Kingdom
said.
"But when you return,
why not write to their
tourist office and to their
embassy? Say you enjoyed
their country's hospitality
and that you are concerned
about the fate of these peo-
ple," Amnesty advised.
The countries are all listed
as "exotic holiday destina-
tions." In addition to Israel,
they are Brazil, India,
Kenya, Mexico, Morocco, Sri
Lanka, Turkey and
Yugoslavia.
An Amnesty spokesman
said, "We do not expect
many holiday- makers to
Israel to follow our recom-
mendation."
The letter said that many
of the 260 civilian deaths in
Israel in 1989 suggested that
extrajudicial executions
were encouraged. It spoke of
the death of an Arab baby
from tear gas.
Dan Ashbel, press
counselor at the Israeli Em-
bassy here, said, "These are
old allegations," all of which
have been refuted.
"We totally reject the
charge of extrajudicial
murder," he said, adding
that "there was never any
proof of the baby's death."
Mr. Ashbel said 60 of the
77 Palestinian deaths in the
first seven months of 1990
resulted from internal
clashes between Palestin-
ians.
He said there have been no
deaths in the Gaza Strip for
the last two months, "but
these things are ignored" by
Amnesty.
The Amnesty spokesman
said the letter was one of
four fund- raising appeals
sent out during the year
which usually yield
$150,000 to $170,000.
As a result of expulsion and.
disease during World War I,
the Jewish population of
Jerusalem fell from more
than 45,000 in 1914 to under
27,000 in 1918. By 1939 it
had risen again to 77,000
(out of a total of 126,000).
