| The Mizan center for human rights has ascertained the importance of the supremacy of law and warned of the security chaos in the Palestinian lands. In a memo to the PLO executive committee chief and PA presidential-hopeful Mahmoud Abbas, the center warned that such chaotic conditions posed a real threat to the Palestinian society. It expressed satisfaction for fixing 9th January 2005 as the date for PA presidential election but opined that elections should also include the legislative council and local councils in order to realize the goals of ending the current Palestinian political impasse. The center pointed to its own statistics that showed 600 Palestinians were the victims of internal violence over the past three years. It elaborated on details of such incidents and underlined that 11 kidnappings were registered this year alone. The rivalry among various wings of the PA security apparatuses and misuse of influence and senior posts were among the prominent titles of such chaotic security situation. |
