Two Jordanians being held in Israeli detention without charges released

Zionist regime authorities have released two Jordanian citizens, who were arrested after crossing the kingdom into the occupied West Bank and being held in detention without charges for the past two months.

Jordanian television network confirmed on Wednesday that Heba Abdel-Baqi al-Labadi and Abdul Rahman Mari had been freed and arrived in the capital Amman. 

Labadi's father said his daughter had met with her family on the Jordanian side of the border, adding that she will undergo medical examinations at King Hussein Medical Center in Amman.

“We are very excited and happy that Heba is back home and free. We were very worried for her well-being, and there was a genuine concern to her life due to the harsh conditions she was under during her detention and her 42-day hunger strike,” Labadi's family said in a statement.

“We thank everyone who supported Heba in her struggle and her release, while stressing the efforts invested by the Jordanian government to free her. We are aware that there were those who supported Heba's release within Israel,” said Labadi's mother in an interview with the Arabic-language Radio al-Shams station.

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi noted that the decision to release Labadi and Mari comes after long, intense negotiations between Amman and Tel Aviv, and that Jordan's King Abdullah II did everything he could to promote their release.
