The teacher of Malak al-Khatib, a 14-year-old Palestinian girl detained in Israel, writes on a board "freedom for Malak", at a school in the village of Beitin near the West Bank city of Ramallah, on January 29, 2015. The Palestinian suspect, charged with stone throwing and possession of a knife, entered the courtroom and was sentenced to two months in prison. The scene has played out like many others in Israeli military courts. Except this time, the suspect was a 14-year-old girl. Malak al-Khatib was arrested last month near her sleepy village in the West Bank. Hers is a rare case of a female Palestinian minor held by Israel that has gripped Palestinians, who say her treatment demonstrates Israel s excessive measures against stone-throwing youth.
