GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas Movement said the mass detention of its cadres, supporters and citizens by the Palestinian security forces did not stop but increased despite the reconciliation agreement and its meetings with Fatah officials in this regard.

This came in a report issued by the information office of Hamas outlining some of the many violations committed during last December by the PA government and its security forces against West Bankers.

In addition to the mass arrests taking place in the West Bank, the PA security apparatuses still relentlessly summon dozens of Hamas cadres for interrogation, chase and harass them in schools, universities and work places, Hamas stated in its report.

All these detained or summoned by the PA security apparatuses are subjected to hours of questioning about their political affiliations, previous arrests by PA or Israeli forces and their jobs, the report added.

The report revealed that the PA security forces detained in its last month's arrest campaign 72 Palestinian citizens, most of them were ex-detainees, religious figures and university students.

The report, thus, refutes claims made earlier by the spokesman for the PA security forces Adnan Addameri that they stopped to summon or detain any of Hamas cadres for political reasons.

The report also noted that some prisoners in PA jails are exposed to torture and their rights are violated on a daily basis.

It highlighted other violations still committed by the PA in the context of its security cooperation with the Israeli occupation, including the mass removal of civil servants affiliated with Hamas from their jobs.
