Ibrahim Ighbarieh, 54, and his brother, Mohammad, 51, have completed 28 years in Israeli jails for resisting the occupation, the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) said today.
The two brothers are from the Arab village of Musherfeh, in Israel, and were both detained on February 26, 1992 and sentenced to life in prison.

PPS said Mohammad Ighbarieh received his master’s degree while in prison and has published four books, while his brother, Ibrahim, published one book.
