The Magistrate court judge extended on Monday the arrest of six Jerusalemites and released four others with financial bails and on conditions of house arrest. Mohammad Mahmoud, Al-Dameer organization lawyer, said that the Magistrate court judge extended the arrest of Walid Atyeh and Yassin Suboh from the village of Esawyeh until 11/06/2014 on charges of throwing stones; note that they were arrested on Monday early morning after raiding their homes in the village. Hamed Obeid was also presented to the Magistrate court judge who scheduled a sentencing session for him on 14/07/2014.

The Magistrate judge extended on Monday the arrest of Louai Sarandah until completing all the legal procedures against him; note that the judge held a session on Sunday to discuss the conditions of releasing Louai which he had set and in case the financial bail is not paid then he will be arrested until completing the legal procedures.
