BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — The Palestinian Authority has shut down the West Bank branch of a human rights organization, officials said Friday.

The Palestinian Human Rights Foundation, or Monitor, said the PA interior minister, Said Abu Ali, ordered the closure after claiming the group’s activities were not consistent with the interests of the Palestinian people.

The minister is basing the decision on a decree by the foreign minister, Riyad al-Malki, the group said.

Monitor expressed regret over the move and said it would hold an urgent meeting to discuss the next steps.

The deputy minister of interior said he was unfamiliar with the decision. Other PA officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

  1. As if the morons in Ramallah have the interest of the Palestinian nation in their hearts and minds. They are in it for office and personal gains. Corrupt, discredited and obsolete.Time to get rid of the PA. Please read this: Jafar Ramini
    Today, as we bid a fond farewell to an Arab revolutionary hero, Ahmad Bin Bella, let us all hope that Mr. Abbas will say good riddance to the discredited Oslo Accord and bury the Palestinian Authority once and for all. Please read this: http://en.ammonnews.net/article.aspx?articleNO=16310
