<p><img title="Islamic Resistance Movement" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.middleeastmonitor.org.uk/images/article_images/news/middle-east/islamic-resistance-movement.jpg" border="0" alt="Islamic Resistance Movement" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="250" height="188" align="left" />The  Islamic Resistance Movement has warned the Palestinian Authority in the  West Bank about its policy of detaining and &#8220;abusing&#8221; Hamas members.  Hamas holds the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas personally  responsible for the lives of Hamas detainees in PA custody. The  detention policy, Hamas claims, is carried out on the orders of the  Israeli occupation forces and the US government.</p>
<p>The warning was made in a statement by Ismail Al-Ashqar, a Member of  Parliament who heads the Committee of Interior and Security Affairs in  the Palestinian Legislative Council, during a march against the PA&#8217;s  continued detention of Hamas members in the West Bank. The march took  place on in the Jabaliya refugee camp in the north of the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p>Al-Ashqar  said, &#8220;The strike by the hostages held in the PA&#8217;s prisons reveals the  truth about the crimes, violations and brutal torture that detainees are  being subjected to at the hands of the Palestinian security forces.&#8221; He  added that there can be no worthwhile reconciliation with Fatah as long  as the PA is holding political detainees in its prisons.</p>
