An Israeli court on Monday evening sentenced the Palestinian student Ansam Shawahna, aged 20, to five years in jail and a two-year suspended term.
Ansam’s father, Abdul Nasser, told the Palestinian Information Center that his daughter attended at least 26 court hearings over the past 20 months, during which she had been subjected to exhausting inter-prison transfers from Damon to HaSharon jail and to Kishon investigation center.
The father added that the court initially ruled that Ansam be sentenced to 10 years in jail but the lawyer appealed the verdict.
The Palestine Prisoners Center for Studies confirmed the piece of news, adding that Ansam was sentenced to a prison-term after she had been held in Israeli lock-ups without trial for 20 months.
Ansam was arrested by the Israeli occupation forces on March 9, 2016 near Israel’s illegal settlement outpost of Kadumim, built on Palestinian land east of Qalqilya, on her way back home from an-Najah University in Nablus.
The occupation army accused Ansam of attempting to stab an Israeli settler. Shortly afterwards, she had been made to endure intensive interrogation for over two weeks, before she was transferred to HaSharon jail and then to Damon.
The center added that the Israeli courts adjourned Ansam’s trial for over 25 times before ultimately sentencing her to a five-month prison term and a two-year suspended sentence.
At the same time, the Israeli Ofer court sentenced the Palestinian prisoner Mohamed al-Refa’iya, from al-Khalil, to 26 years in jail and a suspended five-year prison-term.

Israeli soldiers abducted, on Saturday at dawn, one Palestinian from his home in Halhoul town, north of Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.
The soldiers invaded and searched several homes in the town, especially homes owned by members of Karja family, and abducted Mohammad Nadi ‘Aqel.
The soldiers also tightened the siege on the town, and installed roadblocks on the Hebron’s northern entrance, in addition to the main road leading to Sa’ir town, northeast of Hebron, before stopping and searching dozens of cars, and interrogated many Palestinians while inspecting their ID cards.
