Palestinian police violently attack demonstrators, journalists

On Saturday, Palestinians held demonstrations in Ramallah nd Hebron protesting the apparent murder of Nizar Banat by Palestinian police. 

The police, naturally, acted like they always do - by violently attacking the protesters. 

Here is a photo and video of an attack on a female journalist:

There were plainclothes police violently dragging people away.

The official Palestinian news agency Wafa, and official newspaper Al Hayat al Jadida, are ignoring these protests. 

Fatah did issue a statement saying that  "Our Palestinian security institutions will not be alone in the battle to defend our people, their rights and their cause, and we will confront all attempts to harm them and distort their image and exploit this incident to spread poison, and we will strike with an iron fist" anyone who insults the security services.
