Nadi Al Aseer said that Israel will release today, Saturday, the oldest Palestinian prisoner detained since 1985, Muhammad al-Tus (Abu Shadi).
He added in a statement on his official page on the social networking site “Facebook” that the prisoner Muhammad Al-Tus (67 years old) from the village of Al-Jab’a, was arrested in October 1985 on the grounds of his resistance to the occupation and his affiliation to the “Fatah” movement, and he was seriously injured at the time. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
He pointed out that “Al-Tus is among the old detainees since before the signing of the Oslo Accords, and their number today is 21 prisoners, after the martyr Walid Daqqa last year, along with them are 11 detainees from the freedmen of the Loyalty of the Free Dealers who were re-arrested and had been detained since before the signing of the Oslo Accords.” They were liberated in 2011 and then re-arrested in 2014, most notably the prisoner Nael Barghouti.
