IOA releases Palestinian woman after paying fine

An Israeli military court has ruled the release of Palestinian detainee Suad Al-Amad after one month incarceration in return for a fine of almost 2,000 dollars.

The lawyer of the Nafha legal society said that the Israeli military court of appeals held a hearing on Sunday at the request of the lawyer and on Tuesday she was released after paying the fine.

Amad, 29, was kidnapped on Monday night 17/1/2008 during an IOF incursion into Nablus. She was held in Petah Tikwah interrogation center where she was subjected to psychological pressures and was deprived of seeing a lawyer to force her to “confess”.
