Sheikh Raed Salah to be released next week

Thursday 12-January-2017

Sheikh Raed Salah head of the Islamic Movement in 1948 Occupied Palestine will complete his sentence in Israeli jails on January 17 according to Israeli Prison Service (IPS).

Lawyer of Sheikh Salah Omar Khamayseh expressed in a press statement on Thursday his worries about any Israeli exceptional measures that would disrupt the release of the Sheikh.

Such measures could include submitting a new indictment or issuing an administrative detention order against him holding him under house arrest or not allowing him to talk to pressmen the lawyer elaborated.

On April 18 2016 the Israeli Supreme Court sentenced Sheikh Salah to nine months after charging him with incitement to violence in a Friday sermon that he delivered nine years ago in Occupied Jerusalem. He has been held in solitary confinement since he was incarcerated.
