Palestinian released from Israel jails after 30 years

Israeli occupation forces yesterday released Palestinian Mahmoud Jabarin after he served 30 years inside Israeli prisons.

In a statement, the Palestinian Prisoners Society said that the Israeli occupation released 55-year-old Jabarin from the northern Hadarim prison after the end of his sentence.

Relatives and friends waited for Jabarin in front of Al-Naqab Prison, but the Israeli occupation moved him to the Hadarim Prison the night before his release to stifle any celebrations.

Upon his release Jabarin visited his mother’s grave and greeted his ailing father who is bedbound.
