The Jerusalemite lawmaker Muhammad Abu Tair was released Tuesday morning from Israeli jails after serving out a 17-month prison sentence, rights group revealed.

The Palestinian Prisoners Center for Studies affirmed the number of detained Palestinian MPs dropped to 11 following Abu Tair’s release.

Spokesman for the center Riyad al-Ashqar pointed out that Abu Tair was detained on Jan. 28, 2016 from his home in the occupied West Bank town of Kafr Aqab and sentenced to 17 months in prison.
