The French judiciary on Thursday ordered the release of pro-Palestinian Lebanese activist Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, who was convicted in 1987 for the assassination of Israeli and Palestinian diplomats in Paris, and is considered one of France’s longest-serving prisoners after 40 years in jail, according to a judicial source.
The release will take place on July 25. The appeals court announced its decision during a closed hearing at the Palais de Justice in Paris, in the absence of Georges Abdallah, 74, who is detained at Lannemezan prison (Hautes-Pyrénées).
