NABLUS, (PIC)-- The international Tadamun (solidarity) society for human rights revealed that IOF troops had killed more than 195 Palestinians at military checkpoints spread in Gaza Strip and the West Bank since the beginning of the Aqsa Intifada in September 2000 as a result of its arbitrary measures especially against patients and elderly people.

The Tadamun society pointed out that the IOF troops deliberately delay the Palestinian citizens at its barriers at the pretext of security measures.

The society underlined that these Israeli violations are classified as war crimes against the Palestinian civilians because they are contrary to the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the protection of civilians at wartime.

The society stated that the repeated calls and appeals of human rights organizations did not alleviate the suffering of Palestinian citizens stuck at Israeli barriers, adding that the problem lies in the Israeli occupation and some of its allied countries which encourage these Israeli violations at the pretext that they understand the Israel motives and acts.

In another unrelated development, the Palestinian prisoner's club and the family of prisoner Najeh Abu Shahin appealed to the legal and human rights organizations to intervene to stop the violence exercised against Abu Shaheen in Israeli jails.

In a statement, the club reported Tuesday that prisoner Abu Shaheen was beaten while being transferred from the Israeli Negev desert prison to the Salem military court and upon his arrival to the court he filed a complaint with the judge, but he was beaten again by Israeli wardens in reprisal for his complaint against them.

The club added that the Israeli prisons authority transferred another Palestinian prisoner called Sultan Tashtoush from the Negev prison to the Aylon isolation prison 22 days ago, where he suffers from very bad psychological and health conditions as well as a stomach ulcer.

The club said that Tashtoush went on hunger strike for ten days and threatens to strike again if his isolation continues.
