After 10 years of incarceration, the Israeli army has released prisoner Ahmad Manasra from Nafha Prison, Al Jazeera reports.

Manasra was subjected to various forms of physical and psychological torture since his arrest as a child at the age of 13, Al Jazeera cited the Palestinian Prisoners Club as saying.

The Jerusalem Prisoners’ Committees said the Israeli army released Manasra far from the prison, while his family awaited his release at the prison gate. A Bedouin resident in the Beersheba area recognised the 23-year-old, contacted his family, and informed them of their son’s release, a source told Al Jazeera.

Manasra was initially sentenced to 12 years in prison, later reduced to nine years, for being with his cousin Hassan Manasra, who allegedly stabbed two Israeli settlers near the illegal settlement of Pisgat Ze’ev in occupied East Jerusalem in 2015.

Hassan, who was 15 at the time, was shot dead by an Israeli civilian, while Ahmad was severely beaten by an Israeli mob and run over by an Israeli driver, suffering fractures to his skull and internal bleeding.

A video showing Ahmad Manasra bleeding on the ground and gasping for help, while Israeli bystanders shouted and swore at the boy, telling him to “die”, garnered widespread attention and outrage.

Another video of Manasra undergoing harsh Israeli interrogation after the incident caused further anger.

Despite not having participated in the attack — which the courts acknowledged — Manasra was charged with attempted murder.
