schema:articleBody	A Palestinian rights activist died Friday shortly after being arrested by Palestinian Authority security forces in the occupied West Bank, a local governor said. His family reported that he was beaten to death. Nizar Banat, from Hebron in the south of the West Bank, a critic of the PA, was arrested in a dawn raid Friday by Palestinian security forces, Hebron governor Jibrin al-Bakri said. "Following... a summons from the Public Prosecution to arrest the citizen Nizar Khalil Muhammad Banat, a force from the security services arrested him at dawn," Bakri said, according to a statement carried by the official WAFA news agency. No reason was given for his arrest. Banat's family accused security forces of "hitting him on the head with wooden sticks and bits of iron" and "deliberately murdering" him, they told Quds, a Palestinian news site. "During the arrest his health deteriorated," Bakri said, without providing further details. "He was immediately transferred to the Hebron government hospital... after he was examined by doctors, he was pronounced dead." Banat was known for his videos posted on Facebook, in which he denounced reported corruption of the PA. He was a candidate for the Palestinian legislative elections which were to be held in May, but which were postponed by president Mahmoud Abbas. An investigation has been launched into Banat's death, the statement added. Asked by AFP, Palestinian security forces declined to comment. In May, the European Union voiced its "concern" after Palestinian security forces raided Banat's home. "Violence against politicians and human rights defenders is unacceptable," the EU's representative to the Palestinians said in a statement in May, calling for the PA to ensure the "respect for freedom of expression and the protection of human rights activists". The EU issued a similar complaint in November 2020, after Banat spent four days in custody in Jericho, following his release of a video criticising the PA. On Tuesday, Issa Amro, another Hebron-based Palestinian human rights activist, was briefly detained after a Facebook post criticising political detentions, he said on Twitter. he-cgo/pjm
