Palestinian Woman Recounts Torture by Palestinian Interrogators
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Suha Jbara, a Palestinian woman with U.S. citizenship, was arrested in November 2018 during a raid by Palestinian Authority security forces on her home in Turmus Ayya in the West Bank. She was held in the PA's Jericho Prison, charged with "collaboration" with Israel, illegal possession of weapons and distributing money to Islamic charities. She was released in January 2019 but has since been on trial in a Palestinian court in Jericho. Her testimony, obtained by the Jerusalem Post, sheds light on the harsh methods used by Palestinian interrogators against detainees. In it she describes being blindfolded, handcuffed, beaten, and threatened with rape.
