Israeli Military Court Sentences Palestinian-American Teen For Throwing Stones
A lawyer for Palestinian-American teenager Mohammad Khalek says an Israeli military court has sentenced the boy to two weeks in prison for throwing rocks at Israeli vehicles.
Mahmoud Hassan of the Palestinian prisoner rights group Addameer said Wednesday the court also ordered 14-year-old Khalek to pay an $830 fine.
Hassan says that taking into account the time Khalek already spent in prison, he will likely be released on Sunday.
New Orleans-born Khalek has been held in military lockup since he was arrested on April 5 in a night-time military raid on his home. IDF soldiers wielding assault rifles burst into his family home and arrested him for allegedly hurling rocks at Israeli motorists in the West Bank, his father said.
