             Human Rights in Israel & the Occupied Territories

The Palestinian Authority has copied some of the worse practices of the Israeli government. Arbitrary arrests and imprisonments are rampant, torture is widely used and hundreds of political prisoners remain in custody without charges. Trials of political prisoners, when available, violate all international due process norms. There are reports of extra-judicial executions, as well as deaths under torture.

Freedom of speech and the press is restricted, and journalists have faced imprisonment for reporting on subjects sensitive to the authorities.
