RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — A Palestinian report shows human rights abuses by the rival governments in the West Bank and Gaza are on the rise.
The Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights said in its annual report Tuesday that incidents of abuse are up 10 percent since last year.
Director Ahmed Harb said, "Most of the complaints were on torture, mistreatment, preventing and dispersing public assemblies, preventing reporters from reporting or arresting them."
