Friday 10-February-2017

The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) on Friday subjected three Palestinian youths from Occupied Jerusalem to house confinement.

According to human rights sources the IOA slapped a five-day house-confinement order against the Palestinian activist Jawad Seyam director of the Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Silwan.

The IOA also ruled that Seyam be released on a third-party bail of up to 5000 shekels.

Palestinian youngsters Mohamed Seyam and Dhiaa Baydhoun also received similar sentences.

The three arrestees had endured heavy beating by the Israeli forces prior to their arrest on claims of attempting to attack Israeli cops.

The sentences make part of a collective punishment policy pursued by the Israeli occupation forces and authorities against Palestinian anti-occupation protesters.
