<p style="font-size:10pt;">JERICHO, (PIC)&#8211; Palestinian detainees  from Hamas Movement in the Jericho prison administrated by the  Palestinian authority (PA) went on open hunger strike until death in  protest at the serious violations committed against them by  interrogators and jailers.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Sources close to the families of these  prisoners said that the brutal practices used against them over two  years and the humiliation they are exposed to prompted them to take such  step.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In a statement on Saturday, the families  held de facto president Mahmoud Abbas and his security apparatuses fully  responsible for the lives of their sons and appealed to Palestinian  human rights organizations to intervene to have them released from PA  jails.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In a separate context, head of the  association of Palestinian scholars Marwan Abu Ras described the  violations committed by the PA security militias against Palestinian  women in the West Bank as a humanitarian, national and religious crime,  which causes damage to the Palestinian unity.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Abu Ras added in a press release on  Saturday that the lies fabricated by the PA security militias against  Palestinian women can deceive nobody because they are notorious for  distorting the facts and had an ugly history in Gaza.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He stated that the PA security apparatuses  follow the Zio-American dictates and were established only to protect  the security of the Israeli occupation.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In this context, the PA militias kidnapped  four Palestinian citizens affiliated with Hamas in the cities of  Tulkarem and Bethlehem, according to local sources on Sunday.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">For their part, a number of Palestinian  recently released from Nablus jails reported that the PA interrogators  in Juneid prison use brutal torture methods in order to force them to  make false confessions about the alleged attempt to assassinate the  governor of Nablus city.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">They confirmed they heard PA interrogators  threatening prisoners to confess they wanted to kill the governor or  they would be killed in a fabricated way similar to what happened  previously to other Hamas detainees.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In a related context, PA minister of  interior Sa&#8217;eed Abul Rab told the London-based Al-Hayat newspaper that  the ongoing security cooperation between the PA and Israel is between an  authority under occupation and the occupation authority.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Abu Rab claimed that this cooperation is  intended to organize the daily life in the occupied Palestinian  territories and not to exchange information.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The PA official added that this  coordination helps facilitate the movement of Palestinians in the  occupied lands where there are more than 460 Israeli military  checkpoints, noting that even PA chief Mahmoud Abbas cannot move outside  Ramallah city without prior coordination with Israel.</p>
