PCHR welcomes Gaza Authorities’ Decision to Grant Amnesties to Persons
Accused of Criminal Charges in Relation to the 2006 Palestinian Internal
Conflict

The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) welcomes the decision of the
Gaza authorities to grant amnesties to persons accused of criminal charges
related to the incidents that took place during the Palestinian internal
conflict between Fatah and Hamas in 2006.

Taher al-Nounou, Spokesperson of the authorities in Gaza, stated in a press
release on Sunday, 25 November 2012, following the weekly government meeting
that the government decided to “give amnesty to persons accused of charges
related to the Palestinian division, and to form a committee to implement
the government’s decision and to pave the way to a new era of Palestinian
reconciliation.” He also added in various press statements that the
government decided to rise above the division out of its belief that it is
now imperative to restore the national unity.

PCHR hopes that this decision will push forward the process of the
Palestinian reconciliation talks, and that it will mark the end of the
division, which has been ongoing for 6 years. PCHR also looks forward to
restoring respect and unity of the Palestinian executive, legislative, and
judicial institutions.
