The Israeli Occupation Authorities (IOA) released Wednesday the Jordanian prisoner Thaer Hweiti after he spent two years in Israeli prisons.
Spokesman Fadi Farah of Jordan’s National Committee for Prisoners in Israel pointed out that Israeli forces arrested Hweiti in 2015 during his visit to the West Bank.
He was later sentenced to two years imprisonment he added.
After Hweiti’s release 23 Jordanian prisoners are still held behind Israeli bars.
Farah called on Jordanian authorities to shed more light on prisoners’ issue and to facilitate visits to them.
