26 years? Just for not being Jewish.And for trying to defend what was his and his Arabian family's,for generations, from being stolen by foreign invaders,from Europe and the old Soviet Union? The Jewish people were brave to resist the Nazi's too.The black South Africans brave in resisting white colonial apartheid. 9,000 Arabian political prioners in Zionist detention.
Cowardly Israel.You are a prisoner of Zionism too,& if you were not too blind to see it,you would resist it too,just like Saleh.

Oh my God his detention is longer than my whole life time. am 24 years old, born in 1987. Shocking ! the wold must compile with their praised democracy & human rights and apply the law on all people equally, even on Zionists.

Still endure Palestinian from the hand of humilating ZIONIST'S regime. Detaining for good 25 years in prison is totally contradiate to international law. ZIONIST is populaly terrorist that supposed to be detained.

"Al-Sabati, 51, was detained in 1986 and sentenced to life for opposing Israel's occupation, the center said."
Maan, you should investigate your stories before publishing them.
Was he sentenced to life for demontration against the Israeli occupation?
More likely, he was sentenced to life for terrorism and murdering innocent people.
