Israeli occupation delays release of Palestinian MP

Thursday 12-October-2017

The Israeli occupation authorities delayed the release of Palestinian MP Mohamed Ismail al-Tal under the pretext of Jewish holidays.

Lawyer Mahmoud al-Jabareen told al-Tal’s family that their son will be released on Friday instead of Thursday due to underway Jewish celebrations.

A couple of weeks earlier the Ofer court ruled for releasing al-Tal on a bail of 40000 shekels.

MP al-Tal was kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces from al-Khalil on February 21 2017 and sentenced administratively with neither charge nor trial. He underwent a surgery to remove a tumor and parts of his intestines at an Israeli hospital before he was transferred to the Ramla prison clinic and later to the Ofer lock-up.

MP al-Tal member of the Palestinian Legislative Council since 2006 has spent a total of 11 years in Israeli jails.
