Israel’s Ofer military court on Monday delayed its decision on the fate of the Palestinian detainee Areej Houshiyyeh 19 until 8th August.
Palestinian Prisoners Media Office said that Israeli occupation forces arrested Houshiyyeh on 28th December 2017 while she was trying to protect her sister who has Down syndrome as she was taking the wrong route at Qalandia checkpoint.
The Office added that the Israeli court has delayed Houshiyyeh’s trial 12 times since she was arrested until an indictment is prepared against her. She is currently held in Hasharon jail.
Dozens of Palestinians have been arbitrarily arrested or killed by Israeli occupation forces while passing through Qalandia checkpoint over the past years.
