Human rights under
Palestinian rule worsened
The annual report by the
Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights said hundreds of people
were tortured by authorities in Gaza, ruled by the Islamic militant group
Hamas, and in the West Bank, governed by the Western-backed Palestinian
Authority.
It says several people died in
Hamas detention and one died while incarcerated in the West Bank. It also says
Hamas took 16 prisoners from their jail cells and killed them during the war
with Israel last year.
Commission chief Ahmad Harb said
other violations include bans on peaceful gatherings. He said rights violations
"increased in volume" over the past four years.
