- In
August alone, the PA security forces committed 287 violations against Palestinians,
including arbitrary arrests of a physicist, activists, lawyers and others.
Ten detainees went on hunger strike in PA prison and the health condition
of two others deteriorated as a result of torture.
- The report analyzed 250 arrest
cases between January 2018 and June 2021, and noted: "Not a single
case went without one or more instances of violation of procedures related
to arrest, detention and fair trial guaranteed by the Palestinian Criminal
Procedures Law and the Palestinian Basic Law of 2003." — Arab
Reporters for Investigative Journalism, 2021.
- Under the current circumstances,
the Biden administration is stating that it wants to facilitate Abbas'
creation of another Arab dictatorship that suppresses public freedoms and
sanctions torture and intimidation.
- The ICSPR and ARIJ reports show
that the Palestinian dictatorship entity already exists and is actively
arresting, torturing, and killing its critics. What else do Blinken and
the rest of the international community need to hear before they stop
trying to empower such abusive governance and instead heed the voices of
these Palestinians?
