Israeli military courts extended on Monday the detention of the brothers of the slain anti-occupation attacker Saleh Barghouthi.
Salah’s brother Assef got his remand extended by the Ofer Court for another 48 hours.
A hearing held for Saleh’s brother Mohamed at al-Mascoubiya detention center also culminated in a verdict to extend the latter’s remand for another four days pending intensive investigation.
On Sunday the Israeli occupation authorities sentenced the detainee’s father Omar to a three-month administrative prison term with neither charge nor trial.
Assef and his father were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces on December 12 2018 following the assassination of Saleh by the Israeli military over allegations that he had carried out an anti-occupation attack. Mohamed was arrested on January 5.
