#Palestine / Longest Serving Palestinian Security Prisoner in Israel Dies From Cancer
[...] Last May, Daka filed his last appeal for an early release due to his medical condition. The appeal was sent to the special committee regarding prisoners who have been sentenced to life, where the criteria for release is higher.
[...] Following the Oslo Accords signed between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1993, while in prison, Daka underwent a change in his thinking regarding his activities as an Israeli citizen, and announced his support for the Israeli Arab Balad party, now a faction of the Joint List. He is considered an influential figure among Palestinian prisoners and has frequently expressed criticism of Palestinian society itself.
