Amnesty International 2003 report: Palestinian Authority:

(much of this report repeats what's in the Israeli report)

Scores of people were arrested for political reasons. They included alleged members of armed groups and people suspected of "collaborating" with Israeli intelligence services. At least 13 people were sentenced to death, three of whom were executed. The majority of those sentenced to death were accused of "collaborating" with Israeli intelligence services. Scores of alleged "collaborators" were unlawfully killed by armed groups or individuals.

President Yasser 'Arafat and other Palestinian Authority (PA) officials routinely condemned suicide bombings and other killings and attacks against Israelis and called on Palestinian armed groups to put an end to such attacks. However, in the overwhelming majority of cases those responsible for ordering or planning such attacks were not brought to justice and no investigations were known to have been carried out.

Scores of Palestinians suspected of "collaboration" with Israeli intelligence services were unlawfully killed. Most of these killings seemed to have been carried out by members of armed groups or by armed individuals. Some appeared to be extrajudicial executions carried out by members of Palestinian security services. The PA consistently failed to investigate these killings and none of the perpetrators was brought to justice.
