Palestinian Authority committed 2,578 violations against Palestinians in 2021, says report
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- The Palestinian Authority (PA) has committed 2,578 violations against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank during the year of 2021, the Committee of Families of Political Detainees announced recently.
In its annual report issued on January 14, the Committee of Families of Political Detainees said that 2021 could have been called “the black year of the PA’s suppression of freedoms of Palestinian people.”
According to the report, the PA’s violations caused the deaths of two Palestinians, including activist Nizar Banat and Amir Issa Abu Khaled Al-Ledawi, who died of injuries after his vehicle overturned while being chased by Palestinian Security Services forces.
The report stated that the violations included oppression of people, raids of mosques, dispersing protests in public squares, cancelling elections and even using heavy sticks to beat anti-corruption protesters.
The report stated that the violations also included suspension of salaries and defamation against students, university professors, lawyers, engineers, preachers, traders, doctors and even MPs.
In addition, the report noted that the PA’s violation of national principles continues, including the security cooperation with the Israeli occupation authorities against the Palestinian resistance and chasing the Palestinian freedom fighters.
The report stated that 592 Palestinian prisoners experienced “the worst, psychological, verbal and physical torture inside the PA prisons,” noting that this pushed 43 to go on hunger strike in protest against their detention conditions.
