Palestinian young man sent to Israeli jail over Facebook likes

Thursday 8-February-2018

The Israeli occupation authorities sentenced a Palestinian young man to a six-month administrative prison-term over incitement allegations.

30-year-old Khaled Faraj was sentenced administratively to six months in an Israeli jail on charges of incitement on Facebook.

On Sunday Israel’s Ofer court ruled for releasing Faraj on a bail of 4000 shekels.

The jury refuted the arguments put forth by the military prosecution and charged Faraj with making many “incitement likes” estimated by the court at some 22 likes on Facebook.
