Palestinians protest Abbas, PA following killing of Nizar Banat

Fatah loyalists from Mahmoud Abbas’s faction, some of which identified as undercover Palestinian security personnel, attack demonstrators with sticks and stones as they made their way to PA headquarters in Ramallah, West Bank, June 26, 2021. Protesters marched following the extrajudicial killing of prominent opposition activist Nizar Banat by the Palestinian Authority in Hebron three days ago. Banat, a staunch critic of the PA who was previously detained several times, was known for denouncing PA corruption, security coordination with the Israeli occupation and colonization authorities, as well as for compromising Palestinian liberation principles.
