Ten days later he was transferred to Ramallah prison where his ill-treatment allegedly continued.

In addition to the aforementioned it was reported that Walid Abu-Surur, from the Aida refugee camp near Bethlehem, was allegedly beaten all over his body with fists and rifle butts by two soldiers. The incident occurred on or around 17 April 1990. Abu-Surur, a member of a group called "Runners for Peace", has reportedly been harassed and threatened on several occasions by soldiers, in an attempt to dissuade him from participating in the group's activities. Three other members of the group, Ahmed Abu-Surur, Muhammad Abu-Surur and Mustafa Akal, all from the Aida camp, have allegedly also been harassed, beaten and threatened in similar circumstances. Mustafa Akal was arrested on 17 April 1990 and was at present reportedly detained at the Dhahiriya detention centre. The reason for his detention was not known. 95.

He later alleged that on 21 July, during interrogation, he was hooded and beaten with sticks all over the body, particularly the hands, head, legs and back. Several sticks were said to have been broken while he was being beaten. According to the source Shehabi was taken to hospital for treatment and then transferred to the Russian Compound detention centre.
