Who Is Jailing and Torturing Palestinian Journalists?

Someone on another thread was talking about imprisoned and tortured Arab Palestinians. Here is an article on the subject. Perhaps we can discuss it?

Who Is Jailing and Torturing Palestinian Journalists?

• The Palestinian Authority (PA) sees no need for international intervention to halt its own crackdown on freedom of speech. Nor does it consider the closure of a newspaper office and the detention of journalists as a "war crime."
  
  
• The report reveals that Palestinian detainees have been undergoing severe torture while in PA detention. During the past few years, ten people have died in Palestinian prisons. As far as we can see, no one from the European community has taken the slightest notice.
  
  
• The detention of Khalil is seen in the context of the PA's continued effort to silence and intimidate Palestinian journalists who dare to criticize the Palestinian leadership and its institutions.
  
  
• The PA clearly wants a media that reports only against Israel. The only incitement permitted is the one directed there.
  
  
• Western human rights groups that regularly condemn Israel for its actions against Palestinians have, as usual, failed to respond to this latest assault by the PA on public freedoms. The PA's crackdown on the media is not going to attract the attention of the mainstream media in the West: the story lacks an anti-Israel angle.
