Detainees in Abbas’s prisons carried to hospitals
Detainees in the Nablus prisons of PA chief Mahmoud Abbas”s security apparatuses were carried to hospitals for treatment of severe torture, reliable sources told PIC reporter on Tuesday.
They said that the detainees were severely beaten on sensitive areas in their bodies including the head, ears and genitals in addition to pricking their eyes.
