The Israeli military tribunal in Ofer on Thursday sentenced a female detainee from Ramallah to nine years in prison and a fine while another Israeli court sentenced another female detainee from Jerusalem to seven months imprisonment.
Akram Samara the Palestinian Prisoner Association’s lawyer said the Israeli court in Ofer sentenced Rawan abu Ziada 23 from Beitello village in Ramallah to nine years in prison and 4000 NIS fine.
The PPA pointed out in a statement that Rawan Abu Ziada was arrested on July 15 2015 on charges of carrying out an anti-occupation stabbing attack.
Along the same line an Israeli court in Jerusalem sentenced Shifa al-Shaludi to seven months in jail in addition to preventing her from entering Jerusalem for three years on the charges of attempting to attack policemen and illegal presence in Jerusalem.
The Israeli occupation police arrested Shaludi in October 2015 after breaking into her house in Silwan village. She was released on bail after 40 days and was subjected to house arrest until the end of legal proceedings against her. Over the past few months she was summoned several times to court which today issued the ruling against her after spending 11 months in home confinement.
Shaludi who had two of her sons arrested by the Israeli police for several months is supposed to turn herself in next month to serve her sentence according to the court verdict.
The Israeli occupation authority is holding nearly 7000 Palestinian prisoners in 30 prisons including 64 female captives 13 of them minors. The number of detained children reached about 400 in the prisons of Megiddo and Ofer while the total number of administrative detainees reached 700.
