Disturbing videos show Palestinian officers abusing critics of Jenin crackdown

Disturbing videos have emerged showing Palestinian officers abusing critics of the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) ongoing crackdown on anti-Israel resistance in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. 

One video shows a handcuffed and blindfolded young man being thrown into a garbage container, while security personnel assault and curse him. 

Another clip depicts a detainee being slapped and beaten in the face while his head is covered with a plastic bag.

In a further disturbing video, two detainees, bound and blindfolded, are forced to face a wall with one leg raised. They are made to chant, "God, President Abu Mazen," in a scene reminiscent of tactics used by the government of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The Committee of Political Prisoners’ Families in the West Bank condemned the arrest campaign, which it said targeted individuals who expressed opposition to the security campaign on social media.
