IOA SENTENCES PALESTINIAN CHILD

The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) has sentenced a 16-year-old Palestinian child from Al-Khalil to three months imprisonment term for throwing stones at Israeli occupation forces (IOF). The Ofer military court also passed a six-month suspended sentence for three years along with a 600 dollars fine against the child, the father of Mutez Al-Shuyukhi said. The child was arrested while he was participating with his father in a peaceful demonstration a month ago at the Ofer prison’s gate west of Ramallah. The father said his child was tortured during arrest and interrogation, noting that marks of the torture rounds were visible on his head, hands, and other parts of his body. He added that the IOF soldiers mercilessly treated his child and unleashed police dogs at him.
