The Palestinian Prisoner Club reported that the occupation authorities will hold a new session tomorrow, Tuesday, for the prisoner, Engineer Muhammad Al-Halabi , in the Beersheba Court, at nine in the morning, and this session is the 172nd since he was arrested in 2016.
The Prisoner Club indicated that the Occupation Prosecution had requested, in the previous session held for it on July 20, that he be sentenced to 16 years in prison, and at that time the defense lawyer insisted on his immediate release, despite the previous court´s decision "convicting him" of a set of charges that were not the prisoner Al-Halabi has recognized her throughout the years of his detention, which extended since 2016.
The club added that, during these years, al-Halabi faced all kinds of torture and great pressures to confess to the charges against him, as well as to accept a deal to end the case, but the prisoner al-Halabi refused to do so , and accordingly the court´s decision was to "condemn him".
The lawyer informed the father of the captive al-Halabi, after the end of the previous session, that the occupation prosecution again offered Muhammad to confess to one of the charges against him, in exchange for his immediate release.
It is noteworthy that the World Vision Foundation, in which he works, and the Australian Foreign Ministry have proven, through an independent investigation, that the accusations he was convicted of are false.
The Prisoners Club reiterated that the crime of trying the prisoner of Aleppo, and what is happening against him, is a retaliatory political decision by the occupation, and at the same time constitutes a new blow to the international human rights system.
