A British military court has sentenced Henock ?sior, a 19-year-old displaced Jew, to three-and-a-half years imprisonment on charges of illegal possession of arms and unlawful entry into the British zone, it ? reported here during the week-end.

The prosecution failed to prove its original charge which was that Gossier has attempted to blow up a British troop train. The Jew was arrested last summer after an unsuccessful attempt had been made to blast such a train.
