Israeli court of Ofer is going to decide next Wednesday on the appeal filed against Palestinian prisoner Nael al-Barghouthi 59 by Israeli Attorney General in protest at the court’s previous ruling which sentenced him to 30 months of actual imprisonment.
Palestinian Prisoner Society quoted the wife of detainee Barghouthi as saying that Israeli prosecution asked the court to enforce the old sentence of life imprisonment and 18 years against captive Barghouthi who is from Koper town near Ramallah.
The old sentence against Barghouthi ended on December 17 2016. Israeli authorities however kept him detained since he was arrested in 2014. He was among the released detainees in Wafaa al-Ahrar swap deal and served a total of 36 years and 2 months in Israeli jails.
