Palestinian man convicted of selling land to Israeli Jews dies in PA custody
2019-12-23
[IsraelTimes] PA police say man died of an unspecified illness after two-week hospitalization; deceased had been held since 2012.
"He had Joooooo Cootiesâ„¢"
A Paleostinian man who was convicted by a Paleostinian Authority court of selling land to Israeli Jews died on Sunday in jug, PA Police front man Louay Arzeikat said.

The Paleostinian man, who was serving a ten-year prison sentence for "illicitly trading lands to the enemy," died in a hospital in Ramallah after "facing an illness" over the past two weeks, Arzeikat said in a statement, adding that the PA Police and Attorney General’s Office opened an investigation into the matter.

The statement did not provide details on the illness the front man said the man was facing and it only referred to him by his initials, M.E.

Arzeikat added that the dear departed had been in the PA’s custody since 2012 and was transferred to the hospital on December 14.

Paleostinian law considers attempting to sell or selling land to Israeli Jews a punishable offense. According to the law, possible punishments for trying to sell or selling land to Israeli Jews include various degrees of hard labor and imprisonment, as well as execution.

However,
it was a brave man who first ate an oyster...
the law requires that PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....
approve any death sentence
...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
, and he has not signed off on any executions since 2006.

Arzeikat said the man was also being held by the PA over "the falsification of official documents." He did not clarify whether he had been convicted or sentenced on charges concerning that issue.

The front man did not respond to several phone calls seeking clarification about the man’s death.

A media official in the PA Attorney General’s Office said he had no additional details to provide on the man’s death as of Sunday evening.
