The Israeli Occupation Authorities (IOA) released Friday afternoon the Palestinian astro-physicist Imad al-Barghouthi 54 after six months of his administrative detention.
Local sources affirmed that al-Barghouthi from Ramallah was released after spending six months in administrative detention according to which hundreds of Palestinians are held without charge or trial.
Al-Barghouthi was arrested by Israeli occupation forces on April 24 2016 at Nabi Salah checkpoint.
He was previously detained in 2014 while on his way to the United Arab Emirates to participate in an international conference.
He was then released after two weeks.
