<p style="font-size:10pt;">GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; A new report reveals  Palestinian Authority security agencies had arrested 200 West Bank Hamas  supporters in January 2011, and cited some 3,000 total arrests for  2010.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The report, released by Gaza&#8217;s Ministry of  Planning on Tuesday, says the Fatah-controlled PA continues to hold  hundreds of supporters of Hamas, the resistance movement and other  opposition.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Out of those 3,000 politically motivated  arrests, 1404 targeted individuals previously detained in Israeli  occupation jails, the report details, also referring  to 49 imams in  mosques, 23 university professors, 36 journalists, 32 local councilmen,  417 university students and nine teachers.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">It documents that the PA arrested seven women and summoned 19 others over their political backgrounds.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In a related development, sources told our  correspondents PA preventative security has been brutally torturing  three men for over a month.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">They have for a long period been painfully  bound from the rear and beaten and subjected to other torture methods,  the sources said, adding that their bodies have shown clear signs of  torture.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Also Tuesday, PA security agencies raided  several homes in the Balatat al-Balad region east of Nablus arresting a  number of men from Hamas.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Preventative security vehicles raided the area after night prayers arresting many, most of whom remain unidentified.</p>
