JENIN, Saturday, August 28, 2021 (WAFA) – A Palestinian resistance fighter who is serving two life terms in Israeli prisons has completed 32 years behind bars, according to the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS).

Raed Saadi, 51, from al-Sileh al-Harthiyeh town, west of the northern West Bank city of Jenin, was arrested on August 28, 1989, and sentenced to two life terms plus 20 years for his resistance activity against the Israeli occupation.
