Annex I

LETTER DATED 2 NOVEMBER 1987 FROM THE PERMANENT OBSERVER FOR THE PALESTINE LIBERATION ORGANIZATION TO THE UNITED NATIONS OFFICE AT GENEVA ADDRESSED TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS

According to appeals launched by the Palestinian prisoners detained in the prisons of Al-Fara'a and Hebron, the conditions of detention in these two prisons have been seriously deteriorating for the last months.

Systematic use of physical and psychological torture, beating and spraying rooms with gas, have become daily practices by the Israeli occupation authorities against the Palestinian prisoners in these prisons, makinq the conditions of their detention unbearable.

Before these grave violations of the most elementary human rights of the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, we request you to take the necessary steps in order that this information is brought before the next session of the Commission on Human Rights.

Annex III

LETTER DATED 14 DECEMBER 1987 FROM THE PERMANENT OBSERVER FOR THE PALESTINE LIBERATION ORGANIZATION TO THE UNITED NATIONS OFFICE AT GENEVA ADDRESSED TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS

The Commission on Human Rights is well aware of all Israeli practices and violations of human rights in the Palestinian Occupied Territories, as described in the report of the Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Population of the Arab Occupied Territories. This time, however, the situation is more critical than ever before. Indeed, since Tuesday, 8 December, the Israeli occupation forces seem to have lost any control, systematically killing and injuring Palestinian unarmed civilians all over the Occupied Palestinian Territories, totally disregarding all United Nations resolutions and all provisions of international law.

On Tuesday, 8 December, an Israeli settler intentionally hit with his truck two cars full of Palestinian workers stopped at an Israeli army check-point, killing four persons - Issam Mohammad Hammoudi (aged 29), Shaaban Sayed Nabhan (26), Kamal Kaddoura Hammouda (23), and Taleb Mohammad Abdallah Abu Zait (41) - and injuring another three - Said El-Garbawi, Ali Mohammad Abdallah Ismail and Issam Sobhi Ismail Al-Baten (aged 18 and very seriously injured in the head). Most of the victims were from Jabalia camp (Gaza Strip). Following this crime, the inhabitants of Jabalia camp tried to protest peacefully, but the Israeli occupation forces opened fire on the people, killing and injuring many, and imposed curfew on the camp.

This aggression provoked a wave of protest in all the localities of Gaza Strip, including Beit Al-Balah, Khan Younis and Rafah. The Israeli occupation authorities sent troops in these areas, with instructions to open fire on the demonstrators, thus causing more casualties among unarmed civilians.

These new crimes perpetrated by the Israeli troops led to more protest actions in all the West Bank as well as in the city of Nazareth.

On 10 December, the Israeli troops opened fire against the inhabitants of Balata camp (Nablus area), killing four persons among which two women, and seriously injuring one woman, Ula Mustapha Salameh, and another 40 persons.

On the same day, in Nablus, one person was killed and many were injured by the bullets of the Israeli occupation army.

On 10 December, five Palestinian students were injured by bullets in Khan Younis.

On the same day, in camp (Jerusalem area) students clashed with the Israeli troops. When the inhabitants of the camp went to support the students, the Israeli soldiers opened fire injuring 25 people. Another 15 people were injured in Hebron and one killed in Nablus.

On 12 December, 20 more people were injured in Gaza, and tens of people were injured in Rafah, Khan Younis, Jabalia, as well as in Ramallah, Hebron and Jalazoun camp. In Jerusalem, the Israeli army opened fire on demonstrating schoolchildren. E/CN.4/1988/21 page 11

On the same day, the troops raided a number of houses in camp, throwing tear gas into the houses.

On 13 December, the Israeli troops continued their violent actions against the Palestinian population in Gaza, and imposed curfew on Balata camp and Ein Beit lima. On the same day, during the curfew, the Israeli soldiers raided over 200 houses, beating women and children. Moreover, in Hebron, a girl student was seriously injured by the Israeli soldiers, during a demonstration around the University.

Since 9 December, the Israeli troops have been surrounding the Jabalia camp which remains under curfew. Nobody is allowed to enter or leave the camp; moreover, the Israeli soldiers shoot at the water tanks on the roofs of the houses, thus trying to cause water deficiency and cause more suffering to the inhabitants of the camp.

Today, 14 December, 18 years old Younis Jarbouh was shot dead by the Israeli troops in Khan Younis, and Ahmed Abdel Fatah Jamali was wounded.

In addition to all these violent actions, the Israeli occupation forces prevent the ambulances from carrying the injured people to the hospitals, arrest ambulance crews, and prevent people from giving blood to the injured, following the appeal of the medical teams. Last but not least, the Israeli troops attacked the Shifa Hospital (Gaza city) on Saturday, 12 December, and hit the people inside the hospital, including the wounded patients. They also closed down the emergency wards of Nasr Hospital (Khan Younis) as well as the emergency ward of the "Women's Union Hospital" in Nablus, thus seriously impeding the rescue operations of the medical teams.

So far, since the beginning of the wave of aggression, 24 people have been killed by the Israeli occupation troops, and 139 people have been injured, some of them seriously, and violence still goes on. Most of the Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as well as a number of cities are still under curfew.

Before this critical situation, showing once more the total disregard by the Israeli occupation authorities of all United Nations resolutions, and the resolutions of the Commission on Human Rights, we request you to inform the Commission at its next session of all these facts.

We also request you to consider the present memorandum as well as the list attached herewith, as an official document of the coming session of the Commission on Human Rights.

LETTER DATED 18 JANUARY 1988 FROM THE PERMANENT OBSERVER FOR THE PALESTINE LIBERATION ORGANIZATION TO THE UNITED NATIONS OFFICE AT GENEVA ADDRESSED TO THE UNDER-SECRETARY-GENERAL FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

On Friday, 15 January 1988, the Israeli occupation forces attacked a number of mosques in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. More particularly, the Israeli troops stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, and opened fire on the worshippers gathered for the Friday prayers. The Israeli troops used live bullets as well as gas-bombs to attack the worshippers. The gas-bombs were made in the United States of America, carrying the mention: "Causes burns - kills people - use forbidden inside closed places". During the attack, about 100 people were injured and parts of the Mosque were burned.

By this new attack, the Israeli occupation authorities violated General Assembly resolution 36/55 dated 25 November 1981, in which the Assembly proclaimed the Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief, as well as Commission on Human Rights resolution 1987/15 dated 4 March 1987, on the implementation of this Declaration.

We, hereby, wish to request you to consider the present memorandum as an official document of the fourty-fourth session of the Commission on Human Rights.

LETTER DATED 18 JANUARY 1988 FROM THE PERMANENT OBSERVER FOR THE PALESTINE LIBERATION ORGANIZATION TO THE UNITED NATIONS OFFICE AT GENEVA ADDRESSED TO THE UNDER-SECRETARY-GENERAL FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

Since 8 December 1987, the Isreali occupation authorities have been perpetrating the ugliest crimes against the Palestinian population of the O'zcupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, in an unprecedented campaign of violence and terror.

This new Israeli Aggression against the civilian inhabitants of the Vfest Bank and Gaza Strip has resulted, so far, in 64 dead, 1,500 wounded and 6,000 arrests, as well as the deportation of four Palestinian citizens of the West Bank.

Once more, the Israeli occupation authorities are disregarding international will and violating the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as the provisions of the Geneva Conventions of 1949, particularly article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War.

We, hereby, wish to request you to consider this memorandum as an official document of the fourty-fourth session of the Commission on Human Rights.

(Signed) Nabil RAMLAWI Director Permanent Observer of the Palestine Liberation Organization to the United Nations Office at Geneva
