The Israeli Ofer military court sentenced Monday the 65-year-old Jerusalem Deputy and Palestinian MP Mohammed Abu Teir to 17 months in jail and a fine of 8,000 Shekels ($2101.4), along with a 30-month suspended sentence.
Addameer, the Ramallah-based Prisoner Support and Human Rights organisation, said that the ruling was slapped by the occupation authorities against Abu Teir after he had spent 11 months in administrative detention, with neither charge nor trial.
Abu Teir was arrested by the Israeli occupation forces on January 27, 2016. He had spent a total of 34 years in Israeli lock-ups.
In 2006 he was elected as a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, however, the occupation authorities banned him from occupied Jerusalem on allegations of anti-occupation activism.
