Hundreds of protestors angered by Banat's death demonstrated against the PA in Ramallah, calling for president Mahmud Abbas to quit. RAMALLAH: A human rights activist and critic of the Palestinian Authority died on Thursday after security forces stormed his house and violently arrested him, his family said, triggering angry protests in the occupied West Bank.

Samir Abu Zarzour, the doctor who carried out the autopsy, told reporters that injuries on Banat's body indicated he had been beaten on the head, chest, neck, legs and hands.'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH' "Enough is enough," protester Sameh Abu Awwad said in Ramallah, describing Banat as a man who had"not hesitated to speak the truth, whatever the cost".

The EU had voiced concern last November after Banat was detained for four days, and again in May after Palestinian security forces raided his home.
