Human Rights or Money For Silence? http://www.kawther.info/wpr/2011/03/16/human-rights-or-money-for-silence

In this report I want to highlight the unjustified and unacceptable changes in the work of the human rights organizations in West Bank under the influence of the Palestinian National Authority, PNA. Several of human rights organizations in Ramallah and other cities have turned their back on the gross violations of human rights, like shootings, serious injuries, honor killings, torture, wanton incarcerations, disappearances which are attributed to the PA and its VIPs and their relatives and cronies in Fatah and related organizations, who disregard the human rights and deal with the Palestinian people as a flock of animals whenever it pleases them.

The human rights organizations have played and continue to play an important role in detecting and exposing the crimes and human rights violations under the Israeli occupation. These organizations are the same institutions that today cover up the crimes of the Palestinian Authority. Some of these organizations have turned into a mouthpiece, “spokespersons”, of the PNA and they accompany its representatives to international conferences in order to give the PNA a touch of beauty, to put a smear of cosmetics on the ugly face of the continued violations of human rights of the PNA, to justify and rationalize away its crimes and its dictatorial behavior in the West Bank.
