Hamas Prisoner Dies in PA Jail
[Jerusalem Post] Khaled Abu Toameh - Hamas supporter Muhammad Abed Haj, 30, from Jalkamus, near Jenin, was found dead in his prison cell last week. PA security officers said he had hanged himself, but Haj's family insists his death was the result of brutal torture. The latest case has prompted human rights activists to demand a full inquiry into numerous allegations of torture in PA prisons in the West Bank. Ra'fat Nasif, a Hamas spokesman in the West Bank, said the PA was holding more than 500 Palestinian "political prisoners" affiliated with Hamas.
