Israel grants bail to Palestinian woman in slap video case
AFP
RAMALLAH: Israel on Friday released a Palestinian woman on bail after she was charged with assaulting an Israeli soldier in the occupied West Bank following a viral video of the incident, reports AFP. Nour Tamimi, 20, was released early on Friday from a military prison after a court rejected the prosecutions appeal against her release, her father Naji Tamimi told AFP.
Her cousin Ahed Tamimi, 16, and Aheds mother Nariman Tamimi remain in custody, after they were also charged following the video of the cousins slapping and kicking two soldiers last month. Nour was allowed to return to her home in the village of Nabi Saleh in the Israeli-occupied West Bank after posting a bail of 5,000 shekels ($1,450, 1,200 euros).
A guarantor vouched she would show up for her court proceedings, set to begin on February 12, her lawyer Gaby Lasky told AFP.
The military appeals court ruled Nour would also have to sign in at an Israeli police station every Friday at noon.
