The Israeli Central Court in Occupied Jerusalem sentenced two Palestinian children to 11 years in jail a human rights group reported Monday.
Lawyer Mufeed Al-Haj from the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) said 15-year-old Mondher Khalil Abu Mayaleh and 16-year-old Mohamed Taha were both sentenced to an eleven-year prison-term.
The Israeli occupation court also stipulated that both minors shell out a bail of 50000 shekels.
The two minors have been held in custody since January 30 2016.
Earlier on the same day an Israeli court sentenced the Palestinian child Ahmad Manasra to 12 years in prison.
PPS Head Faris Qaddura dubbed the court rules issued against Palestinian children “a preplanned crime.”
“Instead of apologizing to Manasra and his friends along with the world’s children for its crimes Israel continues to perpetrate other crimes” said Qaddura.
“This is just part of the tragedy endured by Palestinian children in the occupied territories” he added.
Qaddura urged the United Nations Secretary-General the Human Rights Council and the UNICEF to opt for serious and practical measures in response to the Israeli crimes against Palestinian children.
A number of Palestinian children from Occupied Jerusalem were sentenced to actual imprisonment for terms of up to 12 years.
