Palestinians Complain of Widespread Torture in PA Detention Centers
(ABNA-Iran) Recent reports and testimonies gathered by human rights organizations and journalists have shown that intensive, even life-threatening torture is still being widely practiced by PA security authorities. "I am subjected to the shabah (confinement to a very low and small chair while one's hands are cuffed and tied to his back) up to 17 hours per day; I am only let go during the time of prayers, meal times, and when I have to use the bathroom," said Mua'ath Abu Ejheishe, one of the detainees at the Jericho prison. Abu Ejheishe is the son of Hamas Legislative Council member Muhammed Abu Ejheishe.
