Palestinian university students face a sharp increase in political arrests by the Palestinian Authority
Addameer Prisoner Support & Human Rights Association views with great concern the increasing numbers of Palestinian university students who have been recently arrested by Palestinian Authority security forces on grounds of political affiliation. Following the latest student council elections at Birzeit University, PA General Intelligence Service arrested the President-elect of the Student Council, Abdulmajid Hasan, after having brutally assaulted him in front of his home.
