Israel released on Sunday a top Islamist leader, who was indicted for holding contacts with Iran and accused of incitement against the Jewish state.
Security forces arrested Sheikh Raad Salah, the head of the northern branch of the Islamist Movement and former mayor of the Israeli-Arab town of Umm al-Fahm, in May 2003 on charges that he held contacts with an Iranian intelligence agent.
Israel also says his organization tranferred funds to the terrorist group Hamas.
A source at the Prison Authority said they let him go a day early to avoid violent confrontations around the prison where he was held for more than two years.
