    RAMALLAH (Ma’an) – Israeli authorities sentenced Palestinian astrophysicist Imad Barghouthi to seven months in prison on Sunday, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society.

    The group said in a statement that the Israeli military court in Ofer had announced its sentencing of the 54-year-old resident of Beit Rima to seven months in prison, starting from the date of his detention in late April.

    The court also issued Barghouthi a fine of 2,000 shekels ($527).

    A professor of theoretical space plasma physics at al-Quds University in occupied East Jerusalem, Barghouthi had been detained in 2014 before his detention in April, when he was placed under administrative detention — Israel’s policy of internment without charge or trial.

      L’astrophysicien palestinien Imad Barghouthi condamné à 7 mois de prison
      10 octobre | Samidoun |Traduction SF pour l’AURDIP
      ▻http://www.aurdip.fr/l-astrophysicien-palestinien-imad-2099.html

      Le Dr Imad Barghouti, professeur de l’université Al-Qods à Abou Dis a été condamné à une détention de sept mois dans une prison israélienne par le tribunal militaire d’Ofer, le dimanche 9 octobre. Le motif de sa condamnation est d’avoir été provocateur par des posts sur Facebook et sur les réseaux sociaux à propos de la politique palestinienne et de l’occupation.

      Son incarcération prend effet à partir de la date de son arrestation en avril, ce qui veut dire qu’il sera libéré en novembre. Il a été arrêté le 24 avril par les forces d’occupation israéliennes à un checkpoint près de Nabi Saleh alors qu’il se rendait à Beit Rima, la ville où il habite. Il a d’abord été sous le coup d’une détention administrative sans chef d’accusation ni procès ; il avait déjà subi une détention administrative en décembre 2014, suite à une arrestation par les forces d’occupation lors d’un déplacement vers les Émirats Arabes Unis pour aller à une conférence universitaire.

    On 24 April, the distinguished Palestinian astrophysicist Imad Ahmad Barghouthi was arrested and detained without charge by the Israeli military — for the second time in less than 18 months (see Nature ▻http://doi.org/bk44 ; 2016). We protest against his imprisonment and renew the call for his release.

    Once again, it was alleged that Barghouthi made statements on Facebook and on television in opposition to Israeli military attacks and occupation. Subsequent international pressure again contributed to a ruling by the military court of appeals a month later for his release (see ▻http://go.nature.com/299v9nd ). This has not happened. Barghouthi has instead been transferred to a facility run by Israel’s internal security service, Shin Bet, for further interrogation.

      Israel indicts Palestinian astrophysicist despite Thursday decision to free him

      RAMALLAH (Ma’an) — Palestinian professor and astrophysicist Imad Barghouthi is facing charges of “incitement” by Israeli authorities, despite a decision Thursday by the Israeli military appeals court to release him from custody due to lack of sufficient evidence, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS).

      In a statement released by PPS on Sunday, the group said Israeli military prosecution submitted the indictment to the military court accusing Barghouthi of incitement against Israel on Facebook.

      Earlier on Sunday, the statement added, Israeli intelligence questioned Barghouthi at Ofer prison, where he is being held under Israel’s notorious policy of administrative detention — commonly used as a means of internment without charges or trial based on undisclosed evidence.

      PPS senior lawyer Jawad Boulous described the decision to keep Barghouthi in custody as “extremely absurd,” taking into account that the Israeli military prosecutor announced at Thursday’s court hearing that there was not enough evidence to indict him.

      The appeal presented to the Israeli court was signed by hundreds of scientists and academics from all over the world demanding Barghouthi’s release. A similar petition signed by academics was submitted to Israeli courts during the imprisoned professor’s court hearing earlier in May.
