An Israeli court in occupied Jerusalem on Monday sentenced prisoner Oday Bayoumi, 23, to 17 months in jail on allegations of posting inflammatory remarks on Facebook pages.
Head of the prisoners' committee in Jerusalem Amjad Abu Asab said the Israeli magistrate's court in the city issued an unfair ruling against Bayoumi over Facebook postings.
Abu Asab added that the judge ordered the imprisonment of Oday for 13 months and added four suspended months because he had been in jail since December 16, 2014.
Compared to earlier rulings issued against Palestinians over Facebook remarks, Oday has received the longest prison term.
