Georges Abdallah, a 74-year-old Lebanese pro-Palestinian activist, was released from a French prison after 41 years. Convicted in 1987 for complicity in the murders of two diplomats, his release was celebrated by left-wing activists. Abdallah, who maintained his innocence, was deported to Lebanon. His case had been a long-standing cause célèbre, with supporters claiming his imprisonment was due to pressure from the US and Israel. He was eligible for parole since 1999 but faced repeated denials.
