PSE 1/2015 State of Palestine Torture; Alleged arbitrary arrest and detention, torture and ill-treatment of two Palestinian brothers. According to the information received, on 23 May 2015, after Mr. X had received threats over the phone from a member of the Palestinian General Intelligence Service (GIS), Mr. Y and Mr. Z, his brothers, travelled to his place of residence, a garage close to the village of Ajja in the West Bank, to assist him. Shortly after arriving at the garage (where the two brothers told Mr. X to stay inside) two plain clothed police officers arrived; presumably to help prevent a potential quarrel. Subsequently, three armed GIS officers arrived and started shooting in different directions with live ammunition. After attacking one of the GIS officers, Mr. Z was seized by the police officers and subsequently shot in the leg. When he escaped and reported the incident at a police station, he was arrested and handed over to GIS forces. Both, Mr. Y and Mr. Z were arrested, detained and severely tortured and ill-treated by GIS forces and required treatment in a government hospital. They were not provided with any medical certificate and, after their release from detention, subjected to intimidation by a group of members of the Fatah with the purpose of preventing them from reporting the incidents.
