Israeli Policemen Found Guilty in Death of Palestinian Prisoner

 A court found two Israeli policemen guilty of negligent homicide in the death of a Palestinian prisoner four years ago. The verdict, handed down on Monday, found that Omar Abu-Jariban, who had been detained for being in Israel illegally, was left alongside a roadway without food and water by two officers who were sending him back to Palestinian territory against police regulations. Abu-Jariban, who had just been released from the hospital following treatment for injuries sustained when he crashed a stolen car, was reportedly still attached to a catheter and wearing pajamas when he was dropped off by a policeman. That officer and his superior who ordered Abu-Jariban’s deportation were the defendants in the case.
