Wednesday 16-November-2016

The Israeli Occupation Authorities (IOF) released Tuesday evening the Palestinian MP Abdul Jaber Fuqaha from Ofer prison west of Ramallah.

Hamas’s affiliated parliamentary bloc the Change and Reform bloc affirmed in a brief statement that MP Fuqaha was released after spending six months in administrative detention.

Fuqaha was arrested last May from his house in Ramallah after being severely beaten by Israeli forces.

He spent more than six years in Israeli jails in separate arrests most of them were carried out after he was elected as a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council in 2006.
