The Israeli occupation authorities on Wednesday sentenced the Palestinian MP Ahmed Atoun to a renewable four-month prison-term, with neither charge nor trial.

MP Atoun was kidnapped by the Israeli forces from his family home in Ramallah on April 12. He has also been banned from Occupied Jerusalem, where he was born and raised, for over seven years.

MP Atoun has been held for a total of 10 years in Israeli lock-ups and sentenced to administrative detention on several earlier occasions.

Palestinian MPs from Occupied Jerusalem have been frequently chased down by the Israeli forces and sent to jail under the security pretext.
