The Palestinian High Court in the West Bank city of Ramallah Tuesday ordered the release of Fuad Shubaki, the man believed responsible for the Karine A arms shipment who was jailed in Jericho last month, it was reported Wednesday.
Hussein Shuyukhi, Shubaki's lawyer, appealed to the court for his immediate release, saying there was no proof he was directly involved in the Karine A.
It is not clear if the Palestinian Authority will honor the court's ruling, after a deal was reached with British and American jailers to keep him imprisoned in Jericho. (Albawaba.com)
