Jerusalem: A senior Palestinian journalist has been released after 10 months in an Israeli jail without charge, he said. Omar Nazzal, 55, was released on Monday after nearly a year in prison and following 13 hearings in an Israeli military court, he said.
Despite that, he added, he never received specific allegations, only a "general accusation" that he was threatening "regional security". "When my lawyer asked for details, he got only rejections from judges and military prosecutors," Nazzal, a member of the general secretariat of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, said. He was arrested on April 23.
