| Corpses of three tortured women found in Gaza |
| 2007-07-23 |
| The bodies of three women bearing signs of torture have been found in a street in the central Gaza Strip, medics said on Sunday. The corpses were discovered in the Deir al-Balah refugee camp late on Saturday and taken to the nearby Al-Aqsa Hospital. Medics there said that the bodies had stab wounds, traces that wire had been placed around their necks and other signs of torture. Neither the identities of the women nor the circumstances surrounding their deaths were immediately known. Hamas was recently accused by rights groups of torturing members of the pro-Abbas Fatah party who have been detained in Gaza. Hamas denies the charges. |

| #3 PCHR’s preliminary investigation indicates that at approximately 22:00 on Saturday, 21 July 2007, unknown persons in a jeep dumped the bodies of three young women in a grave in the Martyrs Cemetery in Wadi Salqa area to the east of Deir El-Balah. They covered the grave and left the area. At approximately 00:00 on Sunday, 22 July 2007, the bodies were brought to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital after residents informed the Executive Force of the incident. The bodies were transferred to the forensic department at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. Sources in the hospital indicated that the ages of the victims ranged from 16-22 years; and that they were killed by multiple stabs to the neck and face. PCHR learned that the three victims were sisters: Suha Said Juha (19), Lina Said Juha (22), and Nahed Said Juha (16). The motive for this crime remains unknown. However, there is a general perception that it was a crime of “honor killing." |

| #2 Hamas is the poster boy for why the Two State solution should be declared DOA. As always, nobody kills Muslims with more glee or abandon than other Muslims. |
