RAMALLAH, Tuesday, February 26, 2019 (WAFA) – Two Palestinian siblings from the town of Musherfeh, inside Israel, have ended 27 years behind bars in Israeli jails for their resistance of the Israeli occupation, the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) said today in a press statement.
It said Ibrahim, 54, and Mohammad Ighbarieh, 51, were arrested on February 26, 1992 and sentenced to life in prison for their resistance.
The two were supposed to be released in March 2014 in an American-sponsored deal in which Israel would release all Palestinians held prior to the 1993 Oslo agreement between Israel and the Palestinians to boost peace negotiations. Israel, after releasing three batches of prisoners, reneged on the fourth that included the longest serving prisoners most of them from inside Israel and occupied Jerusalem.
The PPS said Mohammad Ighbarieh got his master’s degree in prison and published four books, while Ibrahim has published one book during incarceration.
