Also, Prison Administration repeatedly imposed high fines on the detainees without any proper reason or explanation.
On Tuesday, a committee formed by the parents of the detainees in Nablus area released a statement which revealed the bad treatment and abuse practiced by the soldiers against the families while visiting their detained family members.
