Terrorists Get Prison Tel= Twelve Mall • 12 Mile & Telegraph, Southfield Daily 10-9, Sunday 12-5 • 354-9060 '-„1985 Sherwood Studios, Inc. Jerusalem (JTA) — Three con- victed members of a Jewish ter- rorist underground received mandatory life sentences for murder this week. Twelve others drew sentences ranging from four months to seven years imprison- ment on a variety of lesser ac- counts, all involving acts of vio- lence against Arab residents of the West Bank and conspiracy to blow up Islamic shrines in East Jerusalem. The sentences, pronounced by a three-judge panel in Jerusalem District Court Monday, marked the end of one of the most controv- ersial and politically explosive trials in Israel's history. They triggered new demands for par- don from rightwing politicians and nationalist and religious elements. All of the defendants are Orthodox Jews. Three three sentenced to life are Menachem Livni, leader of the underground, Uziyahu Sharbat and Shaul Nir. They were found guilty of murder for their parting machinegun and grenade attack on the Islamic College in Hebron in which three Palestinian stu; dents were killed. There were originally 27defen- dants when the trial began more than a year ago. Ten were sen- tenced in the course of the legal process as a result of plea- bargaining with the State Pro- secutor. Two Israel Defense Force (IDF) officers will be tried sepa- rately and are free on bail. Four of the men sentenced ear' fier have already appealed for clemency and the 15 sentenced the Monday are expected to do same.
