PA Committed 2,578 Violations Against Palestinians in West Bank in 2021
(Middle East Monitor-UK) The Palestinian Authority committed 2,578 violations against Palestinians in the West Bank during 2021, the Committee of Families of Political Detainees announced on Friday. The violations included oppression of people, raids of mosques, dispersing protests in public squares, cancelling elections, and using clubs to beat anti-corruption protesters. 592 Palestinian detainees experienced "the worst, psychological, verbal and physical torture inside the PA prisons." This pushed 43 to go on hunger strikes in protest against their detention conditions.
