Amnesty International issues rare condemnation of Hamas, demands end to extrajudicial executions
The organization, which has frequently criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank, demanded that Hamas end impunity for extrajudicial killings and reprisal attacks.
Amnesty International has issued a rare condemnation of Hamas, demanding an end to extrajudicial executions and other human rights abuses. The organization accused Hamas of unlawful killings, arbitrary arrests, and reprisals against Palestinian families, citing a UN report that found Hamas-affiliated forces were responsible for at least 60 extrajudicial killings between August 2024 and early 2026.
Amnesty called for the immediate halting of all unlawful killings, acts of vigilantism, and arbitrary arrests, and urged Hamas to take concrete steps to ensure truth and justice for victims and their families.
