A Palestinian elderly man in his 60s who has been held administratively in Israeli jails for about one year could be released soon.
According to the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) the Israeli military court in Ofer west of Ramallah set the end of the current month November 30 as a date for the release of 63-year-old Omar al-Barghouthi from administrative detention.
A PPS lawyer who was following the case of the prisoner stated on Monday that the court decided not to extend the administrative detention of Barghouthi after he spent one year in Israeli jails with no guilt indictment or trial.
Barghouthi was kidnapped from his home in Kobar town northwest of Ramallah on November 19 2015 and since then he has served five administrative prison terms.
He had already spent a total of 26 years during different periods in Israeli jails.
