Israel soldier made woman drink cleaning fluid-court
JERUSALEM, June 22 — The Israeli army has charged a female soldier with forcing a Palestinian woman at a checkpoint to drink the cleaning fluid she was carrying, a military spokesman said on Monday.
The military charge sheet said the incident occurred four months ago in the Gaza Strip when the soldier pointed her assault rifle at the Palestinian woman, shouted at her and demanded she drink from a bottle she was holding. Military sources said the soldier was arrested over the incident, and that the Palestinian woman received treatment in a Gaza hospital. Palestinian civilians have complained of hundreds of cases of abuse by soldiers at army checkpoints that have spread across Gaza and the West Bank since Palestinian militants began an uprising against occupation in September 2000. Military sources said the case was among 35 lodged against soldiers during the uprising. Copyright 2003 Reuters Limited. All rights reserved.
