Palestinian Authority security forces have arrested and tortured the father of slain activist Abdulrahman Abu al-Mona in Jenin, the Committee of Families of Political Detainees in the West Bank said Wednesday. The detention followed his demands for accountability from officials responsible for his son's death.
The committee's disclosure marks the latest allegation of abuse by PA security apparatus against families seeking justice for killed relatives.
