Ahmad Manasra, 23, has been released after completing nine-and-a-half-year sentence, lawyer says.
A Palestinian who was arrested at age 13 for allegedly taking part in a stabbing attack has been released after spending more than nine years in prison, where he developed severe mental health issues but was repeatedly denied requests for early release.
Ahmad Manasra, now 23, was released on Thursday after completing his nine-and-a-half-year sentence, his lawyer Khaled Zabarqa said.
Manasra, from occupied East Jerusalem, was sentenced for being present with his cousin Hassan Manasra, who stabbed two Israelis near the illegal settlement of Pisgat Ze’ev in East Jerusalem in 2015.
