Gaza - Ma'an - Addameer (Conscience) Prisoners' Support and Human Rights
Association, a Palestinian non-governmental organization dedicated to
promoting and protecting the rights of political prisoners and detainees
released a statement on Saturday condemning "execution" of Jerusalem
bulldozer attacker Husam Dwayyat.

The statement described the execution as "violation of the right to life. "

The statement also slammed the Israeli Knesset's decision to demolish the
man's home, describing the action as "racial behavior and collective
punishment against Palestinian residents of Jerusalem."

The association demanded in its statement that investigations be held under
international supervision since there are some indications that the incident
was in fact a road accident with nothing to do with the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict.

In Addameer's statement, they suggest that the attacker may simply have lost
control of his bulldozer.

Addameer called on the international community to intervene in order to halt
the process - already in motion - to destroy the home of the Dwayyat family.
