Two Palestinian
A Palestinian military tribunal sentenced two men from the occupied West Bank to death on Tuesday for spying for Israel, a security official told AFP."Two men, a Palestinian from Yatta (near the southern town of Hebron) and his nephew, have been sentenced to be executed for giving information to Israel that led to the deaths of two Palestinians," said Suleiman Imran, the commander of forces in the northern West Bank town of Jenin. Imran declined to name the two men but said one of them had fled to Israel and the other had been detained in Jenin. The death sentence decrees must now go to Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, who has the power to pardon the prisoners. In April a Palestinian man was sentenced to death by firing squad for collaborating with Israeli intelligence, but the sentence has not been carried out. Posted by: Fred 2008-07-16 |
