<p>JERUSALEM (AFP) &#8212; Israeli military courts in the West Bank have a 99.74 percent conviction rate for Palestinians brought before them, according to data published by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz on Tuesday.</p>
<p>The newspaper, citing data from an annual military courts report, said military courts in the West Bank heard 9,542 cases in 2010, including over 2,000 involving &#8220;hostile terror activity.&#8221;</p>
<p>Of those 9,542, just 25 resulted in full acquittals &#8212; a conviction rate of 99.74, the newspaper said. But in four percent of all the cases heard, the defendant received a partial acquittal on one or more charge, it added.</p>
<p>The data also showed military tribunals overwhelmingly granted requests for administrative detention of Palestinians, approving 98.77 percent of the 714 requests received in 2010.</p>
<p>And, the newspaper said, the figures showed prosecution appeals to the military tribunals were granted much more frequently than those filed by the defense.</p>
<p>Prosecution appeals were upheld 67 percent of the time, the data showed, while defense appeals succeeded just 33 percent of the time.</p>
<p>Palestinians in the West Bank accused by Israel of criminal or security offenses are almost always tried before military tribunals, rarely appearing before Israeli civilian courts.</p>
<p>In addition to over 2,000 &#8220;terror&#8221; cases heard by the military tribunals in 2010, the courts also heard 763 cases involving &#8220;disorderly conduct&#8221; as well as cases involving illegal residence in Israel, traffic offenses and criminal activity, Haaretz said.</p>
