on . Posted in slider

The occupation's court of Ofer decided to convict the detainee Marwan Maadi (60 years) from Jifna/ Ramallah and raised his sentence from 8 years to 22 years of imprisonment, with a fine of 50.000 NIS.
He has been arrested in 2012 after charging him of participating in killing two Israeli soldiers at Ramallah Police Station in 2000, and the court then decided to acquit him from the charge of deliberate murder and accused him of attacking a soldier. Based on that, they sentenced him to 8 years.
After pressure by media and political levels, the prosecution submitted an appeal to the Israeli military court, which assigned the session on May 2020.
The court of appeal decided to convict the detainee with deliberate murder of one soldier and attacking another one, noting that the indictment did not contain anything about the second soldier.
After this unfair sentence of rising the years of imprisonment and imposing the fine, a lawyer from the Commission of Detainees' Affairs submitted an appeal against the rule of the military appeal court and a petition to the Israeli Supreme Court to reconsider the case, because the rule of the military appeal court has legal errors which may affect the case.
The commission condemned the criminal policy of the occupation in issuing high sentences and the imposition of high fines against the Palestinian people. The commission also pointed out that the Israeli judicial system works according to the orders of the Israeli intelligence service, which tries to inflict punishments and damages against the Palestinians.
