Attorney general unlikely to oppose measures against stone-throwers
- 9 years ago
The legal system has not backed mandatory minimum sentences for stone-throwers, but Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein will likely not oppose Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's initiative.
Every discussion in the Prime Minister's Office about the issue noted that the state attorney had issued an order to issue significantly harsher punishments to stone-throwers, including indefinite detainment until the end of legal proceedings for apprehended stone-throwers.
On Thursday morning, the Jerusalem district attorney issued indictments against a 19-year old resident of Issawiya and three minors for throwing stones and Molotov cocktails.
An additional indictment was issued on Thursday against another 19-year-old from Issawiya for throwing a Molotov cocktail at police and cars.
