STORYLINE
Orabi Zouqan, from Balata Refugee camp, and sentenced to 18 years.
The harassing policies that Israel applies against newly freed Palestinian prisoners vary according to the prisoners' home regions and positions. In the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, prisoners are sometimes released at dawn or midnight to ensure families and friends cannot immediately greet and celebrate with the newly freed Palestinians.
