| 2013-07-15 |
[Al Ahram] An Israeli court said Sunday it has placed in durance vileDon't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! for 30 months two senior Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, members who took refugee inside Red Thingy east Jerusalem offices for a year and a half. The Jerusalem district court issued the sentence as part of a plea bargain in which former Paleostinian minister for Jerusalem affairs Khaled Abu Arafeh and Hamas MP Mohammed Totah admitted to "membership of a terror organization" and staying in Israel without permits. The two had barricaded themselves inside the offices of the International Committee of the Red Thingy on July 1, 2010 and were tossed in the slammer Book 'im, Mahmoud! on January 23, 2012. |
