GAZA, (PIC)-- The Palestinian government headed by premier Ismail Haneyya on Saturday held the PA-affiliated preventive security and intelligence apparatuses in the West Bank fully responsible for the lives of 26 political detainees who have been exposed to brutal torture for 40 days in their jails.

In a statement received by the PIC, Taher Al-Nunu, the spokesman for the government, said that the detainees do not see the sunlight during their detention, pointing out that there are a number of imams among the detainees.

Nunu reviewed forms of torture practiced against political prisoners in PA jails such as tying prisoners' hands behind their back, then suspending them from the ceiling, filling the cells with water so detainees cannot sit for long hours, or torturing them with electricity on sensitive areas of their bodies.

The spokesman underlined that the continuing torture of prisoners in PA jails and the daily arrest campaigns against Palestinian citizens in the West Bank refer to the absence of any genuine desire to render the Egyptian and Arab dialog efforts successful.
