Injured minor girl sentenced to 3 years in Israeli jail

Tuesday 19-September-2017

The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) on Tuesday sentenced the Palestinian girl Lama al-Bakri to three years and two months in jail.

The IOA ruled that the child serve a 38-month prison-term and pay a fine of up to 6000 shekels.

Al-Bakri was kidnapped by the occupation forces on December 13 near Kiryat Arba illegal settlement outpost east of al-Khalil on her way back home.

Prior to her abduction the girl was shot and injured by the Israeli soldiers in her leg and was kept bleeding on the ground before she was transferred to an Israeli hospital. Shortly after she was sent to HaSharon lock-up without treatment.

The father said his 15-year-old daughter failed to stand on her feet for at least three months as a result of the injuries and she attended her court hearings on a wheelchair.

In a video leaked from the scene an Israeli settler appears as placing a sharp object next to her bleeding body while Israeli soldiers are caught as changing the girl’s bag.
