Israel operates a dual system of prisons. One system, run by the Israel Prison Service, by and large meets internationally recognised minimum standards for its 10,000 inmates, Jewish and Palestinian, criminal and security. The other system consists of detention camps run by the Israel Defense Force (IDF) for Palestinian residents of the occupied territories. Currently holding 9,000 inmates, these prisons do not meet minimum standards. Among the deficiencies of the IDF detention camps are the use of unheated outdoor tents for year-round incarceration, overcrowding, obstacles to the access of lawyers, and heavy censorship of reading material. These problems are particularly acute at the largest such facility, Ketsiot (also known as Ansar III). Ketsiot is also singled out for harsh criticism because of its remote desert location, in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention, its tense atmosphere, and the absence of family visits due to an impasse that is largely due to the IDF. The report is based in part on visits by Middle East Watch to 12 facilities run by the Police Ministry, the Israel Prison Service, and the IDF. A reply to the report by the Israeli government appears in an appendix.

Human Rights Watch World Report 1995: Events of 1994

"Iraq's 1988 campaign of extermination against the Kurdish people living within its borders resulted in the death of at least 50,000 and as many as 100,000 people, many of them women and children. This book from Human Rights Watch investigates the so-called Anfal campaign and concludes that this campaign constituted genocide against the Kurds." "The book is the result of research by a team of Human Rights Watch/Middle East investigators who analyzed eighteen tons of captured Iraqi government documents (ten of these documents are reproduced in an appendix) and carried out field interviews with more than 350 witnesses, most of them survivors of the Anfal campaign. It confirms that the campaign was characterized by gross violations of human rights, including mass summary executions and disappearance of many tens of thousands of noncombatants; the widespread use of chemical weapons, among them mustard gas and nerve agents that killed thousands; the arbitrary jailing and warehousing of tens of thousands of women, children, and elderly people for months, in conditions of extreme deprivation and without judicial order; the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of villagers to barren resettlement camps after the demolition of their homes; and the wholesale destruction of some two thousand villages along with their schools, mosques, farms, and power stations. The book is a searing indictment of the Iraqi government's carefully planned and executed program to destroy a people, harrowing in its detailed and objective recounting of crimes against innocents."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
