Collective punishment of Palestinian civilians in Lebanon

“I managed to escape the fighting with my wife and kids and my aunt,” Mohammad begins. “But as soon as we got out the camp, the soldiers separated us into two groups. They let the women and children go, and handcuffed the men.” Then, Mohammad says, they were blindfolded and driven away in a large army truck. The Lebanese soldiers began to curse the Palestinians, Mohammad claims. “You people don’t deserve to be alive; you should be slaughtered, all of you.” “From being beaten to detention for four or five days without charge,” says Nadim Houry of Human Rights Watch, “young Palestinians are being stopped at army checkpoints all over Lebanon and sometimes beaten solely on the basis that they are Palestinian.” Responding to these allegations, the Lebanese army press office spokesperson said that the Palestinians were “liars” and that “we never hurt anybody, especially if they are civilians.”
