PALI PRISONER TURNS DOWN RELEASE TO KEEP FREE PRISON MEDICAL CARE

PA Prisoner: ‘Thanks but No Thanks’ to Offer of Freedom
(IsraelNN.com) One of the 256 terrorists slated for release Friday as part of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s “good will” gesture to the Palestinian Authority has said “Thanks, but no thanks” to the offer. The prisoner chose to remain in an Israeli prison, according to Pardons Department director Emmy Palmor, because he prefers to continue receiving free medication for arthritis.
