Israeli court adjourns early release of Palestinian girl

Wednesday 23-May-2018

Israel Court on Tuesday adjourned the early release of a Palestinian student at Birzeit University till June 15.

Student Istabraq al-Tamimi from Ramallah was kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces on March 20 2017 from a students’ dormitory.

The occupation authorities sentenced her to two years in jail and a fine of 6000 shekels after adjourning her trial for 11 times on account of incomplete investigation procedures.

Her lawyer has earlier submitted a request to reduce her sentence by one third for good behaviour. However the court adjourned its final decision in two times.

Istabraq is a student of media studies at Birzeit University. Her detention has resulted in the abrupt suspension of her academic career.
