An Israeli military court extended on Thursday the detention of the father and brother of slain Saleh al-Barghouthi for the fourth time since their arrest in December 2018.
Lawyer Maamoun al-Hashim from the Palestinian Prisoners Society said prisoner al-Barghthi has had his remand extended for another six days while his son Assef received an eight-day extension.
During the investigation procedure the Israeli occupation authorities threatened to send the father to jail without charge or trial. He has reportedly been locked up in al-Mascoubiya detention center under extremely dire conditions.
