Al-Dameer organization lawyer, Mohammad Mahmoud, explained that the District court judge sentenced the 20-year old Mufeed Mohammad Obeid for 57 months (5 years) of actual imprisonment and a suspended probation of 10 months for three years on charges of throwing stones and Molotov Cocktails. The lawyer described the sentence made by a settler judge as “unjust” and ensured that he will appeal it at the Israeli Supreme Court. Lawyer Mahmoud added that the judge also sentenced Mohammad Tayseer Abulhawa for 24 months of actual imprisonment, a suspended probation of 6 months for three years and an 1800-NIS fine. Ayoub Abulhawa was also sentenced for 30 months of actual imprisonment and a suspended probation of 9 months for three years, and Mohammad Mughrabi sentenced for 7 months of actual imprisonment, a suspended probation of 4 months for three years and a 2400-NIS fine. Extensions of arrest… Lawyer Mahmoud added that the Magistrate judge extended the arrest of Mohammad Jaber Abbasi until 10/6/2015 and transferred him to the so-called “conduct officer”; an indictment was submitted against him during Thursday’s session. The District judge extended the arrest of Ahmad Gheith, Mohammad Rweidi, Mohammad Abu Nab and Rateb Haymooni until 8/6/2015; indictments were also submitted against them.

Prison sentences… The head of Jerusalemites detainees and prisoners families committee, Amjad Abu Asab, said that the District judge sentenced the 19-year old Jerusalemite prisoner Mohammad Nimer Yousef Mousa Qneibi from the neighborhood of Al-Thori for 36 months.
