Israel Releases Terminally Ill Palestinian Prisoner
(Ynet News) Raanan Ben-Zur - President Shimon Peres approved Thursday the release of Palestinian security prisoner Mohammed al-Taj due to medical reasons, in accordance with the security echelon's advice. Al-Taj had served about two-thirds of his 14-year sentence. Last month, a Palestinian administrative detainee died from complications of cancer while in Israeli custody. This was followed by riots across the West Bank.
