Israeli court sentences 19-year-old girl to 16 years in jail

Sunday 25-December-2016

The Israeli Central Court in Occupied Jerusalem on Sunday evening sentenced a 19-year-old Palestinian girl to 16 years in jail.

The Israeli Central Court issued a 16-year-sentence against prisoner Shourouk Dweiyat from Occupied Jerusalem on allegations that she attempted to carry out an anti-occupation stabbing attack against the Israeli forces.

In October 2015 Dweiyat was shot and injured by the occupation forces in her chest and hand before she was arrested shortly afterwards. The detainee was aged 17 at the time.

A native of Jerusalem’s southern town of Sour Baher Dweiyat was kidnapped by the occupation forces on her way to the al-Aqsa Mosque to perform her prayers.

The Israeli police shot her right away on claims of a stabbing attempt while on-the-spot observers said the girl posed no threat to the cops.
