Israeli jailers refuse to release Gazan prisoner after finishing his term

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Director of Muhjat Al-Quds foundation Yaser Saleh told Quds Press that prisoner Iyad Abu Khudair completed his eight-year jail sentence, but the Israeli prison authority refused to release him.Saleh said that prisoner Abu Khudair is a Palestinian citizen and had lived in Jordan before he returned to Gaza in 1999 when the Israeli occupation authority declined his request for reunification with his family.The Israeli occupation forces arrested Abu Khudari in April 2005 on a charge of participating in resistance activities against Israel and being a member of the Islamic Jihad Movement.Abu Khudari is married and a father of three children living in the Gaza Strip.The Israeli prison authority justified its refusal to release him that Abu Khudari does not have a Palestinian ID or a place of residence.End item/ 149
