UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) ambassador Jeremy Laurence on Thursday objected to the Israeli army for disclosing dogs on incarcerated Palestinians.
Laurence answered in documenting inquiries from Anadolu about the Israeli army using dogs to strike Palestinian jailors, employing actions of sexual brutality, and employing an injured Palestinian as a human guard in the West Bank.
“We are aware of reports that dogs have been released on detainees, in some cases resulting in attacks and bites,” claimed Laurence.
“Such actions constitute serious violations of Israel’s obligations under occupation law concerning protected persons and under international human rights law concerning individual rights to life and health, the absolute prohibition of inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment,” Laurence commented.

Laurence also answered an inquiry question about the Israeli army restraining an injured Palestinian, who had been fired in the West Bank city of Jenin, to the facade of a military automobile and employing him as a human guard, mentioning that the provincial office of the OHCHR had disseminated a press liberation denouncing the happening.
“In the occupied West Bank, OHCHR condemns continued and flagrant violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law binding on Israel as the occupying power,” claimed the press release.
On June 22, Israeli soldiers attacked a house in the El-Jabariyat neighbourhood of Jenin, wounding three young men with gunfire.
They clamped one of the injured men to the hooligan of a martial jeep, employing him as a human guard, and blocked medical squads from approaching the wounded Palestinians.
