Israeli court suspends release of wounded child pending appeal

Tuesday 15-November-2016

The Israeli military court in Ofer on Monday postponed its decision to release 15-year-old Anas Zaid on bail pending an appeal from the Israeli prosecutor.

The Israeli judge ordered the family of Zaid to pay 6000 shekels as bail for his release but he suspended the verdict for 20 hours until the prosecutor could file an appeal according to lawyer Munder Abu Ahmed who was hired by the Palestinian Prisoner Society to defend the boy.

The Israeli occupation police arrested Zaid recently on November 10 after soldiers opened fire at him and injured him badly in his right thigh and left arm.
