The Palestinian Commission for Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs has strongly denounced Israel’s judicial and prosecution authorities for imposing long prison terms and severe penalties on Palestinian child detainees.
In a statement on Tuesday the commission said that the Israeli prosecution requested 25-year prison sentence for 16-year-old Mohamed Obeidat from Occupied Jerusalem. He has been in detention since May 20 2016.
It emphasized that such insane prison sentences reflect the extremism of the Israeli justice system and its participation in suppressing the Palestinian people.
