Female MP to be brought to court for second time

Monday 13-March-2017

Palestinian female MP of Hamas Movement Samira al-Halayka is scheduled to be brought to Ofer military court on Monday for the second time within 24 hours.

A first court session was held on Sunday for the female MP during which her detention was extended for 24 hours.

During the session the Israeli prosecutor demanded extending her remand for five days. However the judge turned down the request.

MP al-Halayka 53 was arrested during an Israeli mass abduction sweep last Thursday despite her difficult health condition. She is diabetic.
