<p style="font-size:10pt;">OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)&#8211; The  Israeli central court of Jerusalem held an initial hearing Wednesday to  listen to the testimonies offered by the military prosecutor in the case  of Palestinian attorney Shirin Tariq al-Issawi and her brothers Madhat  and Raafat.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The defendants were indicted earlier with transferring canteen monies to Gaza Strip detainees in Israeli occupation jails.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Conflicting testimonies against the defendants seemed to have supported their case.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Issawi&#8217;s plea for release was denied despite insubstantial evidence, according to the defense.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The court called for a second hearing to be held on January 13 when the prosecutor will offer more testimonies.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Issawi said she was convinced after hearing the testimonies against her that her case was &#8220;political and not legal&#8221;.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The attorney, hailing from Jerusalem&#8217;s Issawiya district, was arrested in April. Her brothers were later taken into custody.</p>
