Spanish aid worker freed after being jailed by Israel for funding PFLP

A Spanish aid worker who pled guilty to inadvertently funding Palestinian terror group PFLP walked free, the Israel Prison Service said, a week after a parole board said she could go free.

Juana Rashmawi “walked out the door,” a prisons spokesperson says.

Rashmawi was arrested in April, and later pled guilty to unknowingly funding the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine via her work for a health organization. She was sentenced to 13 months, and was released early.
