(Middle East Monitor-UK) Motasem A Dalloul - On Sep. 20, 2022, the Palestinian Authority security services arrested Musab Shtayyeh and Ameed Tabila in the West Bank city of Nablus. The PA then violently cracked down on popular protests against the arrest of the two men, killing a Palestinian man and injuring 15 others. The PA security services followed with a new arrest campaign in Nablus and arrested more than 12 Palestinians for their involvement in anti-PA protests. On Sunday, Musab Shtayyeh was transferred to hospital following the deterioration of his health due to mistreatment. "Musab Shtayyeh was tortured by the PA security services which detain him in Jericho Prison," said his lawyer, Mustafa Shatat. Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ) documented 2,600 political detentions carried out by the PA in the West Bank between 2015 and 2021. At least 60% were harshly tortured.
