“The Fatah Movement Central Committee congratulated national released [prisoner] Maher Younes (i.e., terrorist, murdered 1 together with an accomplice), who was released from the occupation’s prisons yesterday, Thursday [Jan. 19, 2023], after 40 years of imprisonment, during which he constituted a national model and a symbol that will continue to inspire our people.

In a press release issued for the release of prisoner Maher Younes, the Fatah Central Committee emphasized that the 40 years that he spent in imprisonment are a message of defiance to the occupation and its attempt to break the willpower of our male and female prisoners inside its prisons. It added that the release of prisoners Karim and Maher [Younes] (i.e., terrorist cousins, murdered 1 together) is proof that imprisonment is not a final destiny, and that our prisoners will breathe in freedom despite all the occupation’s efforts and its terror and oppression.

The Central Committee emphasized that the issue of releasing our male and female prisoners from the occupation’s prisons is a national priority for Fatah and its leadership…
