(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Ahrar center for the prisoners’ studies and human rights, which confirmed that Ofer prison administration released Ousta on Thursday evening, quoted him as saying that the prisoners still suffer from strip searches among other malpractices on the part of the Israeli prison authority.
He added that the prisoners wanted him to relay a message in which they called on the Palestinian leadership to achieve national unity and to end all forms of division.
Ousta proposed the establishment of an international lobby including all human rights organizations to pressure for an end to the Israeli occupation’s violations against prisoners.
Fuad Al-Khafsh, the center’s director, said that the prisoner spent 15 years in Israeli occupation prisons before being released last year and then re-arrested, only two months after his release, to complete 16 years in captivity.
