PA sued by student on allegations of torture
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Palestinian human rights group has filed a civil lawsuit against the PA seeking $1 million in compensation for a man who was allegedly tortured while held in a PA detention center, a press release quoted by the Palestinian Ma’an news agency says.
The Civil Authority for the Independence of the Judiciary Body and Rule of Law (ISTIQLAL) said in a statement carried by Ma’an that its client, Ahmad Bilal Abd al-Malak al-Deek, has officially registered the lawsuit in a Nablus court.
Al-Deek, a student at Al-Quds University from the village of Kafr ad-Dik in the region of Salfit in the northern West Bank, was detained for five days in early July after he criticized the local government on social media.
