The Israeli Salem Military court west of Jenin sentenced on Thursday a Palestinian detainee to two life-terms and 40 years in Israeli prisons.
The Salem court issued two-life sentences and a forty-year prison-term against 43-year-old Mohamed Zakarna from Jenin’s southern town of Qabatiya. The court also ruled that the detainee pay a bail of up to 300000 shekels.
His family strongly condemned the verdicts saying their son was indicted over charges for which he had already been sentenced by Israeli courts.
Prisoner Zakarna was kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces on May 28 2012 after he was injured and arrested in an ambush. The Israeli occupation authorities re-sentenced him over charges for which he had already been punished at an earlier time.
Sometime earlier the occupation authorities sentenced Zakarna to life but ended up acquitting him following negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.
