The Arab Organisation for Human Rights (AOHR) in Britain has recently released a report on the condition of Palestinian detainees in Egyptian jails. MEMO has gained access to the document which records the names and abuses to which scores of young Palestinians were subjected.
Report:
Israel's recent massacre of activists on the 'freedom flotilla' has provided a historic turning point in the way the siege on Gaza is viewed by many. This change in attitude is attested to by the hefty price willing to be paid by activists aboard the flotilla who originated from thirty-two different countries. The current worldview is that the inhabitants of Gaza deserve to be treated as human beings.

Of the 265 kilometers, which is the length of the borders between Egypt and Palestine (1), the Egyptian government is taking strict measures along 10 km only, which is the length of borders between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, under the pretext of protecting Egyptian national security. They claim that the measures taken on the border are non-negotiable sovereignty measures. Meanwhile, throughout the remaining 255 km, Egypt cannot move a rock without taking permission from the Israeli government. In addition, it cannot practice that same policy at the Gaza Strip borders expect to implement practices approved by the Israeli government in order to confront African immigrants, about whom we’ll mention later.
