A 23 year-old Palestinian mother who was arrested by Israeli authorities for terrorist activities on July, 1968, testified before a United Nations group in Amman Tuesday that Israel oppressed and tortured Arabs in violation of the Geneva Convention. Mrs. Abla Taha was the 30th witness to appear before a special committee of the UN Human Rights Commission charged with investigating the condition of Arab civilians in the territories occupied by Israel during the June, 1967 war. The committee has held hearings in Beirut and Damascus and will move to Cairo after its sessions in Amman.
