B'Tselem Charges
Abuse By IDF

Jerusalem (JTA) — The Israeli
human rights organization WI'se-
lem this week accused inter-
rogators with the Israel Defense
Force and the General Security
Service of routinely using torture
against Palestinian detainees.
The group called on the goy-
> ernment to ban such mistreat-
ment, and warned that the abuse
could breed more violence.
B'Tselem issued a report that
cited the testimonies of nine
Palestinian detainees and the
proceedings of four court hear-
ings.
B'Tselem, which monitors hu-
man rights abuses in the territo-
ries, said the methods of torture
employed by Israeli security
forces included beatings, verbal
abuse and prolonged deprivation
of sleep and food.
The authors of the report re-
jected the argument that the re-
cent wave of Islamic
fundamentalist terror against Is-
raelis justifies the use of torture.
"Innocent people arrested for
> long weeks and tortured harshly
go out with a lot of bitterness and
anger," said Yuval Ginbar, one of
the report's authors. "When you
torture people, the benefit is not
unequivocal."
Responding to the B'Tselem
charges, an IDF spokesman is-
sued a statement pointing out
that violence or threats of violence
against detainees in army pris-
ons is strictly forbidden.
The spokesman added that
regular checks are made to insure
that standing orders regarding
interrogation methods are fol-
lowed. He said that any com-
plaints made to the army are
thoroughly investigated, with se-
vere punishments meted out to
anyone found guilty of violating
the orders.

Germany Bans
Neo-Nazi Group

Berlin (JTA) — The German gov-
ernment has banned a paramil-
itary neo-Nazi organization called
the Viking Youth.
Last week's ban on the group
was accompanied by police raids
throughout Germany to search
the homes of the group's 400
members.
Viking Youth, which was
founded in 1952, advocates the
elimination of the current Ger-
man government, by violence if
necessary, and replacing it with
a Nazi state.
Announcing the ban on Nov.
10, Interior Minister Manfred
Kanther said the group has been
giving paramilitary training to
young Germans and indoctri-
nating them with Nazi ideology.
