Palestinian detainee completes 20 years in Israeli jails
Palestinian political inmate, Mohammad Faruq Abu al-Rob, serving a life sentence in Israeli jails, completes on Sunday 20 years behind Israeli jail bars, a prisoner advocacy group said.
The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) reported that Abu al-Rob, who comes from the town of Qabatia in the north of the occupied West Bank, was apprehended on this day in 2002, and was sentenced to life in jail for his activism in the resistance of the Israeli occupation.
Like many Palestinian inmates in Israeli jails, Qawasmi was held in solitary detention and denied family visitation several times by the Israeli occupation authorities as a punishment against him and his entire family, PPS added.
The Israeli occupation authorities are still incarcerating over 4,500 Palestinian and Arab inmates from resisting its occupation of their homeland.
