It seems to have come in a haphazard fashion today. Mohammed badr describing standing outside the court and talking to a court official. Look, i was not there. We have been getting the news filtering out. Its difficult. I dont want to draw too many conclusions about that. One of the problems we faced all along is the things influenced in the court, the reason the court makes decisions is opaque to us. We dont know what it was that influenced the courts decision why it thought to delay or originally heard 8 august thin it was shifted back to the 2nd. We need to be careful about drawing too many conclusions. Inevitably with so much little information, whatever conclusions we draw it will be wrong. Thank you peter greste talking to us live from sydney. Thank you now, Israels Parliament legalized the force feeding of prisoners on Hunger Strike. The bill was past with a majority of six votes. U. N. Human rights experts and israels medical association condemned the move considering it a form of torture and full of medical risks. For palestinian prisoners hun ir strikes have been an important means of protest. Translation israel is continuing with crimes and aggression towards the palestinian prisoners understand the guise of what it calls law. Its threatening lives, against the ethics of the profession. The doctors condemned the law. The association in israel called on the doctors not to deal with it. Reporter the World Medical association called forcefeeding of Hunger Strikers inhuman and unethical saying no physicians should be used to force feed strikers and the autonomy should be rmed. Its done by putting a tube down the nostril. It could be painful and lead to bleeding and could exchange various diseases via blood and moouk us. Its a practice followed in the past. In early 1900s in the u. K. Forcefeeding was used on the jets on those that went on Hunger Strike. The practice is used against the Irish Republicans in their struggle against independence and by the United States in Guantanamo Bay prison. Lets go live to Stephanie Dekker who is in west jerusalem. This bill was controversial, wasnt it and it just passed. Thats right. It took pt members of the parliament, the Israeli Knesset hours to come to this vote. It passed by six. Its not a majority i should say, but it is now law. It is facing a lot of opposition, as you said. From the israeli medical association. We spoke to a doctor that said its against medical ethics belief religion equating it to rape. When i asked what it entailed he said its a horrific procedure even for a patient that needs it postsurgery type of thing. Its horrendous let alone a person who has been on Hunger Strike who is week trike to fight it. It is now law. The medical association called on the doctors not to do it. As the doctor told us theyll find people and the other issue is most of the prisoners on Hunger Strike are under administrative detention, meaning it hasnt been charged. This is what palestinians tell you, the last resort on pressure on the authorities, to charge them or let them go. Now it is as one opposition member said its forcefeeding will not be the solution to this administrative detention, charge them or let them go. Its become law and well have to see how it plays out. Stephanie dekker you have managed to speak to someone who endured this dreadful process, havent you . Thats right. We spoke to a former prisoner. He was in a communal Hunger Strike in 1980, 35 years ago. He still remembers exactly what it felt like. This is how he described it to us. They tied me down brought a tube shoved it down my nose and push. I felt my head exploding down to my stomach. Theres nothing you could do to resist. Our stomachs were empty. It hurt and then we did it again. He added that they didnt thing that this was a way to save lives, which was the argument that the Israeli Government was making. In is something to protect the prisoners to keep calm they are afraid if someone decide of Hunger Strike therell be repercussions in the west bank. A former prisoner told us he believed it was about breaking spirits with the prisoners, to stop them from any kind much resistance that they are trying to put pressure on the israeli authorities. Stephanie dekker live in west jerusalem. The u. S. State Department Said its concerned over israels approval for new settler hotels in the occupied west bank. Israel advanced plans for 504 new Housing Units in settlement areas in occupied east jerusalem. According to international law, all israeli settlements on Palestinian Land are illegal the Iraqi Government denies accusations that is it tortures prisoners. Official are questioned by those suspecting human rights abuses. We speak to imran khan in baghdad. This is a u. N. Committee investigating not just the state of iraqs gaols, but its taking place in geneva. Thats right. They are looking into allegations of torture, and the questioning to the iraqi delegation is tough. A member of the tribunal said is there a single iraqi in gaol at the moment on torture charges. There isnt at the moment. Its something of a problem for the iraqis. They denied it ag the allegations are without youngs. The u. N. Has not put evidence forward. It is putting the iraqis under pressure putting the spotlight on secret prisons, torture techniques and enhanced interrogation techniques making a lot of people uncomfortable. These allegations of torture, as you say, they have been around for some time. Its not just coming from the u. N. And its investigation, other human rights organizations claimed that torture is carried out in iraqi prisons. Thats right. There has been a number of reports, publicly Available Evidence that they submitted also on the idea of the secret prisons, and we have spoken to both al jazeera, and human Rights Groups and people that have been inside the prisons, and given us testimony saying that they were tortured. Theres a legal problem here. Torture is not clearly defined in the iraqi constitution. Some would say its a deliberate thing by the successive Iraqi Government to allow them to operate these black sites, the torture techniques and secret prisons. Its been a Political Tool against the opponents that the government has, as a tool to silence criticism. The human Rights Groups said that this is something that they iraqis need to look at. Haider alabadi said he would take a look at the ministry of justice and clean house. That has not happened. Imran khan live in baghdad. Thank you.
