Mahmoud Abu Rahma of the Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights was repeatedly stabbed in his back, shoulder and legs by masked men outside his home in southern Gaza city on Friday night, his organization said on Tuesday.
The attack came only ten days after a group of masked men assaulted him in the street and punched him.
“These attempts to silence a human rights defender are another attack on freedom of expression in Gaza, and send a chilling message to activists” said Ann Harrison, Amnesty International’s Interim Deputy Director for Middle East and North Africa.
“The authorities in Gaza must ensure the safety of Mahmoud Abu Rahma and that an independent and impartial investigation into this assault is completed as soon as possible. The perpetrators must be brought to justice.”
The activist, who has previously received several death threats on his mobile and email, told Amnesty International today: “The men who stabbed me called me a traitor, a heretic, but regardless of the accusations and attacks I am determined to continue my work defending human rights in Palestine.”
Mahmoud Abu Rahma published an article earlier this month calling for justice for people arbitrarily detained and tortured by Hamas officials, and for the authorities to investigate violations committed by Palestinian armed groups.
The article also highlighted the fact that there is no accountability for the killings and injuries of Gazans sustained as a result of the operations of Palestinian armed groups against Israel......"
