Awake Goy Days of Palestine, Jerusalem -An Israeli court in Jerusalem sentenced on Wednesday seven Palestinian minors to different terms in prison, rights group and families said.
The seven children were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 12 to 39 months for alleged charges of throwing stones at illegal Israeli settlers.
Lawyer Mohamed Mahmoud said the Israeli court in Jerusalem had convicted the children of throwing stones at Israeli cars in the Beit Hanina neighbourhood of occupied East Jerusalem.
Mahmoud said that the children included three boys aged 14 years old, two aged 16, one aged 17, and another whose age was not specified.
Saleh Ishtayya, 16, was sentenced to three years and three months in prison, while Mohamed Jaber and Murad Alqam, both 14, were sentenced to three years.
Mohamed Tayeh, 17, and Zaid Ayed al-Taweel, 16, were both sentenced to two years and four months in prison, Omar Yaseen, 14, received a one-year sentence and Yazan Ayoub was sentenced to one year and two months in prison.
All seven minors spent eight months under house-arrest before they were sentenced, the lawyer Mahmoud said.
They were originally arrested in June, before they were released on bail under house-arrest after spending two weeks at Israeli Russian Compound Detention Centre.
It is worth mentioning that more than 420 Palestinian children are currently held in Israeli occupation prisons. Defence of the Children said that the Israeli occupation arrests at least 700 Palestinian minors every year.
