Girl arrested during Israeli court hearing for her brother in Jenin

Monday 28-November-2016

The Israeli occupation army on Sunday arrested a Palestinian girl from Ya’bad town in Jenin during a court hearing held for her brother.

According to the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) Israeli soldiers arrested 21-year-old Taqwa Nufayaat as she was attending a trial held for her brother Nidal in the military court of Salem.

The girl was arrested following an altercation with a female soldier who shoved her mother intentionally inside the courtroom.

Her detained brother Nidal was rearrested last August on charges of his affiliation with the Islamic Jihad Movement and involvement in resistance activities against the Israeli army. He already spent nine years in Israeli jails.

Recently his brothers Munadel and Ayoub were arrested during their presence in the 1948 occupied lands.

In a separate incident Israeli soldiers on the same day kidnapped 25-year-old Mohamed Hazem from al-Khalil as he was going to a court in the city to register his marriage.

Eyewitnesses said that soldiers intercepted the young man on a road in the city and took him aboard a military vehicle to an unknown place.
