Longest-serving Palestinian female detainee Lina Ahmed al-Jarabouni was released from Israeli jails on Sunday morning after she had served a 15-year-sentence.

43-year-old Lina al-Jarabouni, from Akka (Acre) city, was released from Israeli prisons, where she had been locked up for 15 years.

Al-Jarabouni was arrested by the Israeli police on April 18, 2002, and sentenced to 17 years in jail on charges of affiliation with the Islamic Jihad Movement and assisting Palestinian protesters in carrying out anti-occupation operations.
