T<\/strong>he EU Missions in Jerusalem and Ramallah condemn 5 death sentences in Gaza <\/strong> <\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The EU Missions in Jerusalem and Ramallah condemn the five death sentences issued by military courts in the Gaza Strip on 18 April. These include three new death sentences and the confirmation of two previous ones, all on the grounds of collaboration with enemy forces. This brings to ten the total number of death sentences to be issued in Gaza this year. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

As in their most recent statement on 13 April, the EU Missions in Jerusalem and Ramallah recall the EU's firm opposition under all circumstances to the use of capital punishment. The EU considers that abolition of the death penalty contributes to the enhancement of human dignity and the progressive development of human rights. It considers capital punishment to be cruel and inhuman, that it fails to provide deterrence to criminal behaviour, and represents an unacceptable denial of human dignity and integrity. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The authorities in Gaza must refrain from carrying out any executions of prisoners and comply with the moratorium on executions put in place by the Palestinian Authority, pending abolition of the death penalty in line with the global trend. <\/p><\/div>\n
