PAKISTAN, (PIC)--

Jamaat e Islami Pakistan ameer Syed Munawar Hassan has strongly condemned Israeli soldiers for unleashing dogs on Palestinian protestors, calling it one of the worst violations of human rights and civil liberties committed under the nose of western media as their regimes were keeping a criminal silence over the gross violations of Palestinians fundamental rights.

In his response to the incident on Saturday, he said the reports and the footage released by electronic and print media had clearly unveiled the fascist face of Israel. "The dog was dragging the blood-soaked innocent Palestinian while the Israeli occupation soldiers were enjoying the brutal scene," he deplored.

He lamented that the Muslims in Palestine were facing atrocities at the hands of Israeli forces under the patronage of the US but no one was there to condemn these terrorist activities. "Even rulers of 57 Muslim countries have kept mum over this serious issue," he regretted.

He further said the Muslim rulers had not taken any action against US aggression in Afghanistan and it would be more unfortunate for Muslims even if they turned a blind eye on the issue.

He dubbed the acts of urinating on Taliban bodies in Afghanistan by the US soldiers and unleashing dogs on a Palestinian a slap in the face of civilized world.

He appealed to the Muslims that they should unite against the US and its allies in order to get rid of their anti-Muslim policies.

NABLUS, (PIC)--

The international Tadamun (solidarity) society for human rights strongly denounced the Israeli occupation forces for using police dogs to subdue protest marches or to arrest civilians, affirming such action violates international law and anti-torture agreements.

Spokesman for Tadamun society Ahmed Al-Beitawi stated in a press release that Israel's use of dogs to quell peaceful marches taking place in the West Bank villages is prohibited and considered a form of torture under international law and UN human rights conventions.

Spokesman Beitawi noted that there may be some people who suffer from neurological diseases or heart problems and are more prone to epileptic seizures and heart attacks that could lead to their death if they were attacked by dogs.

He stressed that the use of dogs against the Palestinians reflects Israel's moral degradation and the extent of its disregard for the dignity of Palestinian citizens.

A Palestinian young man named Ahmed Shetaiwi from Kafr Qaddoum village in Qalqiliya city was seriously injured when he was attacked by dogs unleashed by Israeli occupation troops against the anti-wall march held on Friday afternoon in the village.
