Arab Investigation Centres were torture centres established by the British administration during the 1936-1939 Great Arab Revolt in Mandate Palestine. The Centres were established on the authority of Sir Charles Tegart, a senior police officer headhunted' from British India. Victims were warterboarded and generally given the third degree' until they spilled the beans'. One such centre in a Jewish quarter of West Jerusalem was closed only after colonial official Edward Keith-Roach, the governor of Jerusalem, complained to the High Commissioner. Keith-Roach argued that questionable practises' were counter-productive both in terms of the information gathered and the effect on local people's confidence in the police. The Anglican Archdeacon in Palestine believed police abuses were the cause of the violence rather than a response to it. He detailed the daily complaints from Arabs of beatings at thehands of rampaging police officers in a letter to the Mandate Chief Secretary in 1936.
