Tuesday 17-October-2017

The Israeli occupation authorities sentenced the Palestinian woman Khadija al-Raba’i mother of five children administratively with neither charge nor trial.

Prisoner al-Raba’i aged 30 was transferred from the Israeli HaSharon jail to Ofer court to attend a court hearing. However the trial did not take place and the detainee was sent to prison without charges.

A court hearing is expected to be held on October 22 to confirm the administrative sentence.

The Israeli occupation forces kidnapped al-Raba’i on October 10 2017 from her home in al-Khalil’s eastern town of Yatta and stole 30000 shekels from the building.

Five Palestinian women among them al-Raba’i are held administratively in Israeli jails. The list also includes MP Khalida Jarrar serving a four-month sentence without trial and the head of Women’s Committees Union Khitam al-Sa’afeen sentenced administratively to three months.

Over 84 Palestinian women and girls were kidnapped by the occupation forces since the start of 2017. According to official records until October month 58 Palestinian female detainees are held behind Israeli prison bars.
