Palestinian journalist sent to Israeli jail without trial

Monday 2-October-2017

The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) on Sunday sentenced the Palestinian journalist Mohamed Awad 30 to administrative detention with neither charge nor trial.

The lawyer told Awad’s family that the detainee was sentenced administratively for an indefinite period. A court hearing is slated to be held on Wednesday to confirm the prison term.

Awad was kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces on Thursday evening from his home in Ramallah’s western town of Badres. He was transferred to the Israeli Ofer jail.
