Human Rights Watch: Communication Blackouts May Conceal Mass Atrocities

Human Rights Watch warned early Saturday morning that the communication and internet blackout in the Gaza Strip, which is experiencing intense Israeli bombing, may serve as a "cover for mass atrocities" being committed. In a statement, Deborah Brown, a representative of Human Rights Watch, noted that this information blackout could act as a "cover for mass atrocities and contributes to the impunity for human rights violations."
