JENIN, November 23, 2017 (WAFA) – A Palestinian whom Israel had pardoned in 2010 was nevertheless sentenced by a military court on earlier charges to two life terms plus 40 years and $58,000 fine, according to a family member.
The military court at Salem, in the north of the occupied West Bank, passed its harsh sentence on Mohammad Zakarneh, 43, from town of Qabatya south of Jenin and a father of five, even though the Israeli military government had pardoned him in 2010 from any previous act he was involved in, said his brother.
He told WAFA that Zakarneh was arrested on May 28, 2012, despite the pardon decision.
Zakarneh works for the Palestinian Authority’s Preventive Security.
