AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- The family of prisoner Ahmed Salhab, 41, reported that its son suffers from a serious medical condition because of his exposure to excruciating torture in the preventive security prison in Al-Khalil city, south of the West Bank.

The family said that Salhab was transferred to hospital after sustained a spinal cord injury as a result of the torture inflicted on him by the Palestinian authority's interrogators in the preventive security prison, affirming that his health badly deteriorated 12 days ago, but he was transferred to hospital on Saturday evening.

According to the initial medical report, Salhab is now in very serious health condition that may cause him partial paralysis.

The family held the PA and the director of the preventive security fully responsible for his life and appealed to all human rights organizations and media outlets to visit Salhab in hospital to witness what happened to him.

In a separate incident, six Palestinian citizens affiliated with Hamas Movement were kidnapped by the PA security militias in the cities of Al-Khalil and Ramallah, according to local sources on Sunday.

In the context of the security cooperation between the PA and Israel, the Israeli government's civil administration said in a report that the Israeli occupation forces carried out 1, 424 joint military and security operations with the PA security militias in the West Bank in the first half of 2010.

It added that 303 meetings were also held in the same period between the two sides and 343 Israeli settlers were handed back by the PA security apparatuses to the Israeli side after they entered by mistake the occupied Palestinian territories.
