After 18 years .. IOA freed a prisoner in Jerusalem


Israeli Occupation Authorities (IOA) on Wednesday morning released the prisoner Ali Mohamed Tawfiq E'oissat (38 years) from the neighborhood of Al-Mukaber Mount South Jerusalem, after serving his sentence of 18 years.

According to the security services, the Committee of Releasing Prisoners 20 times demanded his release after he had served two-thirds of the sentence, but Israeli intelligence refused to release him.
The liberated prisoner E'oissat has several times fought the "Battle of the empty stomach" (hunger-strike).
