Israeli courts denies Ahed Tamimi’s request for public trial

Israel’s military appeals court ruled on Monday against an appeal by 17-year-old Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi and her defense team to hold the teenager’s trial proceedings in open court, citing historical “benefit” of closed-door trials for minors.
After she was indicted for slapping and kicking an Israeli soldier, a military court decided to close the hearings to the public, citing her rights as a minor to privacy — a claim Tamimi’s family and defense team claim were never afforded to her in the first place.
Despite the prosecution announcing last week that it did not object to an open trial, the court decided on Monday against Tamimi’s appeal.
According to Fadi Quran, senior campaigner at U.S. based civic organization Avaaz and coordinator of the Free The Tamimis campaign, Tamimi’s legal team has already begun working on an appeal to Monday’s decision.
“The military court has realized that their policy of detaining children is causing international embarrassment,” Quran told Mondoweiss, adding that the “goal of the prosecutor and military judge is to shut down Ahed Tamimi and to avoid having her voice reach the millions of people who are pushing for her release.”

Humans - weapons of mass destruction.
This is just heart breaking. There is no rational reason that this had to be the last boy rhino in existence. the cruelty done by poachers and those looking for the male enhancing substance from the rhino horn......are the most despicable lot on the planet. Just as barbaric as trophy hunters.

These majestic ancient creatures with such a distinct character.........

In some way s Humans are the worst thing to happen to this wonderful planet. They are supposed to have something called INTELLECT , and yet behave on a basic instinct , greed based level
this comes from someone with an active membership in Born Free society, and an adopted LION at Shamwari conservation park .........And that translates int ZERO tolerance for any kind of animal abuse.....

If someone has such a desire /compulsion to kill animals.......then get a job at a properly run slaughter house .

That meme makes sense if you're too stupid to understand that he was the last Northern white rhino, not the last white rhino.

I doubt Cliffy knew this.

Cliffy is quick to speak, but rarely engages his brain. OB does the same thing, as is apparent with her post above.

This is what happens to some older males when their testosterone levels drop. See IMS below.
