Palestinian Authority arrests 24 protesters in West Bank after PA critic’s death
|

An internal affair of the Palestinian Authority, but noteworthy for the portents for the shaky PA government. [IsraelTimes] Paleostinian Authority police say they have arrested 24 people protesting Ramallah’s response to the death of a prominent political activist while in the custody of PA security forces.
The demonstrators planned to call for accountability in the death of Nizar Banat,
...the Israel-hating, anti-corruption crusading, amateur West Bank politician (he was by profession a carpenter and house painter) who for years was regularly arrested by PA authorities until the day they finally beat him to death... an outspoken critic of the Paleostinian Authority who died in jug on June 24 shortly after he was arrested. But police shut down the protest and arrest two dozen activists.
Police front man Louay Arzeigat issues a statement saying the demonstrators have not received a permit and "refused to sign the conditions for the gathering." It does not elaborate.
Banat’s family has said he was beaten as he was taken out of his home and has accused the Paleostinian Authority of trying to cover up the death.
Paleostinian officials have said the matter is under investigation.
