OCCUPIED WEST BANK, (PIC)-- Sheikh Yusef Qumboz, the Imam of the mosque at the village of Farkha in the northern West Bank governorate of Salfit, was tortured at the hands of Abbas's militia according to sources close to his family.

The sources wrote to Omama website, a website run by Hamas in the West Bank, that Sheikh Qumboz was subjected to being tied up and beaten on the eve and day of Eid (Sunday) to the extent that his cries were heard in all the prison's corridors.

Sheikh Qumboz served time in Israeli occupation jails a number of times. Two years ago he was kidnapped by Fatah's militia and beaten badly with truncheons and rifle butts leaving him with physical injuries that he lived with for several months.
