The Israeli occupation authorities sentenced on Thursday Assef Barghouthi the brother of slain anti-occupation attacker Saleh to a three-month administrative detention term with neither charge nor trial.
According to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) the sentence makes part of the collective punishment policies pursued by the Israeli occupation authorities against the family of Saleh Barghouthi.
The Israeli army killed Saleh on December 12 and arrested his brother Assef and father Omar. The latter have been subjected to exhaustive questioning at the Mascoubiya detention center.
