Israeli Ofer court sentenced Wednesday evening the Palestinian female prisoner Najwan Awda to 18 months in prison plus a fine of 27000 $US.

The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) said that Awda was convicted of working in a “banned charitable organization.”

Ofer court also adjourned the trial of the 16-year-old injured prisoner Lama Bakri till March 6.

Bakri from al-Khalil was arrested after being shot and injured by Israeli forces on December 13 2015 while leaving her school.

During her arrest Bakri was left bleeding for hours without any medical aid before being taken to hospital and then to HaSharon prison.
