GENEVA (Reuters) – The U.N.
human rights investigator for Gaza and the West Bank called on Israel on
Thursday to investigate what he called excessive force used by Israeli
security against Palestinians and to prosecute perpetrators.
Makarim Wibisono, U.N. special rapporteur on human rights
in the Palestinian territories, also told Israeli authorities to charge
or release all Palestinian prisoners being held under lengthy
administrative detention, including children.
“The upsurge in violence is a grim reminder of the
unsustainable human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian
Territory and the volatile environment it engenders,” he said in a final
report to the Human Rights Council.
