Tens of Palestinian families have been victimized to greed and extortion by regime’s officers and officials.
The extortion comes under the pretext of bringing information about Palestinian detainees, place of detention and facilitating family visits for big amounts of money.
Family of the detainee “Ahmad” – nick name- had to pay $5.000 to an officer who promised to get their son released within few days, they had to sell their own house to collect the money. In return, they got nothing but death threats if they speak out.
Another family talked to the AGPS about its experience; they paid $1.500 to an officer for information about the fate of their detained son. Eventually, the only information they got is that he is not in any of the regime’s prisons.
