What the petition asks
Khaled Mashaal, the leader of the terror organization Hamas was invited to London by Tony Blair. He has not gone yet, but we the undersigned insist that he be arrested for war crimes the minute his feet touch British soil. Even Amnesty International said Hamas commited war crimes.
Amnesty International said in a report on Wednesday that Gaza's dominant Islamist Hamas committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians in the territory alleged to have collaborated with the enemy during last year's war with Israel.
"Hamas forces carried out a brutal campaign of abductions, torture and unlawful killings against Palestinians accused of 'collaborating' with Israel and others during Israel's military offensive against Gaza," London-based Amnesty's report said.
