Palestinian scientist sentenced to seven months in Israeli prison

‘An Israeli court has sentenced a Palestinian astrophysics professor to seven months in prison on charges of “incitement” of violence through posting anti-Israeli comments in social media.
The Ofer military court announced its verdict against Imad Barghouthi, a renowned professor at Al-Quds University in Abu Dis in the occupied West Bank, on Sunday, several months after he was first arrested.
