Sheikh Raid Salah Enters Prison To Serve His Jail Term


1Sheik Raid Salah, who heads the Northern Branch of the Israel Islamic Movement, on Sunday 30 Nissan entered prison to begin serving his sentence. Salah was convicted of incitement to violence as well as racism and will now be serving a 9-month sentence.

The original sentence handed down was 11-months but an appeal to the High Court of Justice resulted in the lesser sentence. The latest conviction dates back to a sermon he delivered in Jerusalem about two years ago.

Salah has been imprisoned in Israel in the past for his ties to Hamas and continued anti-Israel activities.
