RAMALLAH, Sunday, April 23, 2023 (WAFA) – Rabea Abu Al-Rob, a Palestinian political prisoner serving a life sentence in Israeli prisons, completes today 21 years behind Israeli prison bars, according to the Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS).

Abu Al-Rob, who comes from the town of Qabatiya in the occupied West Bank, was arrested on this day in 2002 during a deadly Israeli onslaught on Jenin, and was sentenced to two lives in prison for his activism in the resistance of the Israeli occupation.

Like many Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, Abu Al-Rob was denied family visitation several times by the Israeli occupation authorities as a punishment against him and his entire family.

The Israeli occupation authorities are still incarcerating more than 4,500 Palestinian and Arab prisoners for resisting its occupation of their homeland.
