The upcoming reports will be better,” Fayyad said. In Gaza, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum accused the Fayyad government of trying to destroy Hamas in the West Bank with U.S. backing. Barhoum acknowledged “mistakes” were made by the Hamas forces, but said that unlike in the West Bank, violators were increasingly punished. The Al Haq report described a series of methods used by interrogators in both territories. Commonly, detainees’ heads were covered by sacks and their hands tied behind their backs. They were made to stand for long hours. Those who moved risked beatings on arms, legs and the soles of feet. Other methods included threats, humiliation and isolation in tiny cells. Three ex-detainees - two from the West Bank village of Salem and one from Gaza - gave similar accounts to The AP. Jabour, a 33-year-old construction worker, said he was detained Nov. 17 by Military Intelligence in the city of Nablus, near Salem. He said interrogators demanded to know where he had hidden the automatic rifle of his late brother, a member of the Hamas military wing killed by Israel in 2002. Jabour said he insisted he had no ties to Hamas and did not know of a weapon. He said that for the next six days, he was beaten severely with sticks and fists, including on the soles of his feet. His legs became so swollen and his feet so sore that he couldn’t stand up, he said. He was also forced to kneel on glasses placed upside down on the floor and made to stand in the cold winter rain for hours. Jabour said he was taken to Nablus’ Rafidiyeh Hospital after an interrogator rammed a screwdriver into his back, making him pass out. Dr. Marwan Jayousi, who examined Jabour at the hospital, said that the patient’s legs were heavily bruised and very swollen at the time. “There were a lot of marks of beatings by sticks, on his back, on his scapula, shoulders, and it was painful,” the physician said. Jayousi said he prescribed painkillers and antibiotics, and that the men in uniform took Jabour away. Jabour said he was transferred to the General Intelligence Service in Nablus, where the abuse largely stopped. Several days later, he returned to the Nablus hospital, where he underwent an operation for what Jayousi said fellow doctors told him was a perforated appendix. After recovering from the operation, he was released without charges. Jabour, whose leg bruises are still visible eight months after his release, said the Nablus governor apologized to him. Another man from Jabour’s village, 50-year-old Hosni Jabara, said he was arrested by the Preventive Security Service in Nablus on Jan. 28, and was tied up in painful positions off and on for 32 days. At times, he was pulled off the ground by a rope hanging from the ceiling and attached to his hands tied behind his back, said Jabara, sitting in a room decorated with a photo of himself in 1992, as one of more than 400 suspected Islamic militants deported to south Lebanon by Israel for a year. Jabara said he told his interrogators he’s a proud member of Hamas, but that he has no knowledge of weapons. He was eventually released. In Gaza, a Fatah supporter said he was seized by Hamas security and beaten severely for several hours this spring, until he lost consciousness and had blood streaming down his face. The man in his early 30s showed a photo of what he said were his black and blue buttocks. After initially agreeing to be quoted and photographed, he withdrew permission, saying he had received new threats from Hamas. Al Haq described the mistreatment as systematic. In the West Bank, most of the abuse was carried out by the Preventive Security Service and the General Intelligence, the rights group said. In Gaza, the lead was taken by Izzedine al Qassam, the Hamas military wing which has been folded into the security forces, according to Al Haq. The group said it had confirmed two deaths in detention, one in Gaza last July and one in the West Bank in February. Al Haq said it noted a decline in West Bank abuses in the past three months. The office of Washington’s security envoy in the Palestinian areas, Lt.-Gen. Keith Dayton, declined comment on the reports. Dayton leads a U.S. effort to help train and equip Abbas’ security forces. European countries are also sponsoring a program aimed at bolstering a now 900-strong civil police force. An international conference in Berlin in June secured commitments of $242 million for projects to strengthen the Palestinian police and judicial systems. Colin Smith, who leads European effort, noted that he’s training the civil police which has not been cited in connection with abuse. He said human rights training is part of the curriculum. “The Palestinians themselves are looking to restructure the security force into a more accountable, transparent force,” he said.
