Hamas rejects Amnesty accusations of crimes against humanity as 'lies'


Hamas rejects Amnesty accusations of crimes against humanity as 'lies'

Hamas' Gazan foes seen bolder, ensconced in Israeli-held zone

Hamas rejected on Thursday a report by Amnesty International that accused the Islamist movement and other armed groups of crimes against humanity during and after the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel that sparked the Gaza war.

"The report's repetition of the lies and allegations promoted by the occupation government concerning rape, sexual violence, and the mistreatment of captives clearly demonstrates that the purpose of this report is incitement and distorting the image of the resistance," Hamas said in a statement, calling for the human rights organization to retract the "flawed and unprofessional report".
