Among these prisoners, nine are serving life sentences,
while five others face sentences ranging from 20 to 36 years. Additionally,
three inmates are serving sentences spanning 15 to 19 years, and one prisoner
has been sentenced to five years, Amman Net reported
Institutionalized cooperation
Seven of these
Jordanian prisoners are considered
"deans of prisoners" and have been in detention for over two decades,
while five others have been held for more than 15 years. These individuals have
played an active role in the prisoners' movement, participating in hunger
strikes alongside their Palestinian counterparts.
The report underscores the collective Arab commitment to the
Palestinian cause, highlighting that it transcends national boundaries and
resonates deeply among Arab nations. This extends to the prison system, where
those who are believed to have fought for the same cause are honored, according
to the report.
Long-serving Arab prisoners
The report highlights the stories of Arab prisoners who have
endured lengthy detentions, including Lebanese martyr Samir Kuntar, who spent
over 29 years in
Israeli custody before his release in 2008, and released
Syrian Golan Heights prisoner Sudqi Al-Muqt, who served a total of 32 years in
Israeli detention, making him one of the longest-serving Arab prisoners in
Israeli prisons over two separate periods, with his second release occurring in
2020.
