October 10, 2016

The Magistrate judge sentenced on Monday 57-year old Jerusalemite Khamis Salaymeh for two years of actual imprisonment.

The lawyer of Prisoner’s Club, Mufeed Al-Hajj, explained that the Magistrate judge sentenced Khamis Salaymeh for two years after convicting him of “transporting three young men” who carried out an attack in the area of Damascus Gate last February which led to the death of an Israeli female soldiers and injury of another.

Salaymeh was accused of “causing death as a result of negligence” as he transported the three young men from the neighborhood of Beit Hanina to the village of Esawyeh. The young men are: Ahmad Najeh Abu Al-Rub (21) Mohammad Ahmad Kamil (20) and Ahmad Rajeh Zakarneh (22) from the village of Qabatia; they were all shot and killed by the occupation forces.

On the other hand, the head of Jerusalemites detained and prisoners families committee Amjad Abu Asab explained that the Magistrate judge also sentenced on Monday the 29-year old Jerusalemite activist Samer Abu Eisheh for 20 months of actual imprisonment. Samer was kidnapped from inside the headquarters of the Red Cross in Sheikh Jarrah on 6/1/2016 after he refused the deportation order issued against him; he decided to stay at the Red Cross headquarters instead of being deported from the city of Jerusalem.
