Georges Abdallah is in Lebanon, his hometown, after 40 years in prison in France
Georges Abdallah lebanese, the longest-serving prisoner in a French and European prison for terrorist crimes, has been released after more than 40 years in prison in France last night.
Abdallah arrived this Friday from Paris at Beirut International Airport in Lebanon, where a crowd of activists, family members and supporters, 'Freedom, George Abdallah', clapped and waved Lebanese and Palestinian flags.
Founder of an anti-Israeli anti-Marxist group disbanded years ago and servingthe longest sentence in Europe for terrorist crimes, Abdallah will return to his hometown, Qobayat, in the north of the country.
Abdallah was sentenced to life imprisonment in France for complicity in the murder in 1982 in Parisof Charles Ray, deputy military attaché of the United States, and Yacov Barsimantov, an Israeli diplomat.
He was arrested two years later in Lyon, southeast Europe, and Abdallah has been serving that life sentence in several French prisons for four decades, until he was finally released in the early morning of Friday and automatically deported to Lebanon.
Calls for support for the Palestinian struggle
Lebanese militant Georges Abdallah called on Friday to support the Palestinian struggle "more than ever" in his first statements after arriving in Beirut.
"Resistance is rooted in this land and cannot be uprooted, it is not weak but strong. Martyrs are at the forefront of our resistance. We must protect resistance more than ever," Abdallah said after landing at Beirut International Airport.
It has also described it as "shameful" that the Arab world is "watching" the suffering of the people of the Gaza Strip.
"And I'm not talking about fighters, I'm talking about traditional social movements. Where are they?
"As Europe moves in France, London, Milan or Ireland, there are 104 million people in Egypt. One million is enough to end the genocide if we move to the border with Gaza," Abdallah added at Beirut airport.
