A military court in Beersheba last Thursday sentenced 59-year-old Ebtisam Mousa from the Gaza Strip to two years in jail with no guilt.
The Shin Bet arrested Ebtisam Mousa at the Beit Hanoun (Erez) crossing as she was escorting her ill sister who suffers from cancer and later accused her of gathering and transferring information to Gaza without any evidence.
In another incident the family of prisoner Hussein Juwailes from al-Khalil said that Israeli soldiers rounded him up recently as he was on his way home after he left his job in the city and physically assaulted him affirming that the assault was recorded on video.
Israeli soldiers also stormed a house last Tuesday in al-Khalil and brutally beat a Palestinian citizen called Haitham Awad 28.
Lawyer Jacqueline Fararjeh from the Palestinian Prisoner Society said she recently visited prisoner Awad in Etzion jail and listened to his complaint about his exposure to physical abuse at the hands of soldiers.
He explained that Israeli soldiers raided and ransacked his home after midnight on Tuesday December 5 then blindfolded him and bundled him into a military vehicle.
Inside the vehicle they embarked on kicking him with their legs and rifle butts as he was lying on his belly the prisoner added.
