Ahmad Manasra has been reunited with his family, his lawyer Khaled Zabarqa told CNN.

“Ahmad has completed his 10-year sentence and he is a free person now,” Zabarqa said. “The Israeli authorities have imposed restriction on the family as far as holding a welcome ceremony for Ahmad or talking to the media. “
