January 7, 2009: a Palestinian human rights activist and journalist who used to work for the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem was executed in Rafah by Hamas on charges of "collaboration" with Israel.
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip identified the man as Haidar Ghanem, 46, of Rafah.
Ghanem, who was a field researcher for B'Tselem, was sentenced to death by a Palestinian Authority court in 2002 after being found guilty of passing on information to Israel that later resulted in the elimination of Fatah gunmen.
The PA state security court had sentenced Ghanem, a father of two, after holding only two brief sessions. He was convicted of helping Israel kill four Fatah activists in Rafah.
