Palestinian prisoner Ahmed Ismail Uwaini was released on August 1 after 11 years in Israeli prisons. Uwaini, who was born in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, is affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, whose members and friends welcomed Uwaini at the Beit Hanoun crossing.
He traveled in a caravan of cars from Beit Hanoun to Bureij camp, where a celebration was held for Palestinian refugees in the camp and Uwaini’s comrades and family. A reception tent has been organized outside Uwaini’s home in the camp, which will be open for three days to receive visitors.
