JENIN, (PIC)-- A number of residents of al-Jabryat neighborhood in Jenin complained that they can no longer bear hearing the cries of prisoners being tortured in a neighboring prison that is run by the General Intelligence of Mahmoud Abbas.
Local residents said that a number of residents have actually moved out of the neighborhood because they could not sleep at night hearing those cries, saying that as the prisoners were being physically tortured in the said prison, they were being psychologically tortured.
"We cannot sleep at night because of the cries of the Hamas detainees. We have been like this for the past two years and everyday we say this problem will end tomorrow, but it seems this story is going take long," said one of the residents of the neighborhood.
He also pointed out that the prices of property in the area around the General Intelligence headquarters have plummeted as a result.
In a related context, Abbas's General Intelligence have released on Thursday Hutheifa Jarrar, who was left with scars all over his body as a result of torture. Jarrar was detained to pressure his father Sheikh Abdel-Jabbar Jarrar who was released a few days ago from the Jericho jail.
