The commission’s lawyer quoted the prisoner Yaqoub Qadri, one of the six prisoners who managed to escape from Gilboa prison, as saying, “We do not care what the decision is. The important thing is that we did the impossible, and we were able to penetrate the Israeli security services, and we achieved what was impossible for Israel and its services”.

The lawyer of the Prisoners Authority, Munther Abu Ahmed, said that the judge of the occupation court in Nazareth issued a similar sentence on prisoner Zakaria al-Zubaidi to 5 years and a fine of 5,000 shekels, despite his absence in the courtroom.

He indicated that the Prisoners’ Committee will file an appeal against the decision of the occupation court against the six prisoners of the Freedom Tunnel. (LKG/RE1)
