The Palestinian Authority tortured Palestinians who took part in a US-led peace workshop in Bahrain in 2019, the US State Department said in a recent report.

The Peace to Prosperity workshop was part of former US President Donald Trump's plan to help resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The PA boycotted the event, but several individual Palestinians took part in it – and, according to the US, drew Ramallah's ire.

The 2020 Country Report on Human Rights, released by the State Department on Tuesday, included references to reports that "Palestinian security forces arrested, intimidated, and tortured Palestinians following their participation in an international conference in Bahrain."

Some of the Palestinians who attended the conference "reported direct and indirect threats of violence from Fatah, members of Fatah's Tanzim [militia], Hamas, and other groups, some with possible ties to the PA," the report added.

Their personal property and businesses were reportedly targeted in attacks, and their families face pressure and calls to disown them over their visit to Bahrain.
