30 Palestinian prisoners were released from Israeli jails yesterday as part of the new peace agreement, as we’ve been informing you.
Budour Hassan, from Amnesty International, talked to BBC Radio 4 about a woman named Nurhan who is a prisoner.
Nurhan, who was 15 years old, was accused of trying to attack someone with scissors, according to Hassan.
Israeli soldiers shot and hurt Nurhan, and they also killed her cousin.
Nurhan got 13 and a half years in prison, and Hassan thinks it’s too much.
She says Nurhan studied for her high school tests in jail, and was helped by other women prisoners, who were also political activists.
After she was set free, the first thing she did was go to her cousin’s grave, according to Hassan.
As we have been telling you, mostly women and teenage boys have been let go as part of the truce.
