<p style="font-size:10pt;">RAMALLAH, (PIC)&#8211; President of the  illegitimate Palestinian government in Ramallah Salaam Fayyad admitted  to the existence of human rights violations in West Bank prisons under  his jurisdiction, guaranteeing that all violators will be prosecuted.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Fayyad spoke during a local radio  interview Wednesday to tackle the human rights situation and strengthen  awareness about the importance of adherence to human rights standards  and principles.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Rights organizations have complained of  the Fatah authority’s abuse and non-compliance with legal procedures  when detaining citizens, and the PA security militia’s prosecution of  civilians in military courts, a practice that conflicts with the basic  Palestinian law, which rights groups consider constitutional.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Fayyad pledged during the talk to  reinforce security and safety for citizens in the homeland and to  preserve human rights and public and private freedoms.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Hundreds of West Bank citizens have been  abused and tortured on charges or suspicion of belonging to Hamas and  other Islamic movements. Haytham Amr, Mohammed al-Hajj, Majd  Al-Barghouthi, and Kamaal Abu Taeema were among those who were killed  after being punished over such charges.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Rights groups in Palestine have  continually complained over the worsening human rights and freedom of  expression conditions in the West Bank, as the Fatah authority continues  to hold hundreds of Hamas supporters, journalists, and politicians in  detention.</p>
