The first complaint filed was dismissed in September by the French National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office (Pnat). Determined to denounce the atrocities perpetrated by Israel in the Gaza Strip by certain French nationals, several human rights organizations have filed a new complaint. This procedure targets a Franco-Israeli soldier, who is said to be the author of a video showing Palestinian prisoners in degrading conditions. The complaint was filed for torture, war crimes, genocide and complicity.
In September, the Pnat considered that the facts appeared “insufficiently characterized” and closed them without further action. “Our organizations are becoming civil parties to combat the inertia of the prosecution,” assert in their press release the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and its Palestinian and French member organizations Al-Haq, Al Mezan, Palestinian Center for Human Rights ( PCHR) and the Human Rights League (LDH).
At the heart of the complaint, a video published in particular on March 19 on A man appears shackled, blindfolded, appearing to wear a rope around his neck and wearing an open white jumpsuit revealing his upper body. He was taken out of a vehicle by soldiers in khaki military uniform.
“They tortured him to make him talk”
We hear a voice speaking French say: “Have you seen these bastards, my nephew? He pissed himself. I’ll show you his back, you’ll laugh, they tortured him to make him talk,” amid a flood of insults. “You were happy on October 7, you sons of bitches,” the voice says again.
