Nablus / PNN – Hussam Khader will be at home today. He was imprisoned six years ago, but his name remained in the news as his brother headed the campaign to garner his release.

From Nablus’ Balata Refugee Camp, Khader is the Chairman of the Committee to Defend the Rights of Palestinian Refugees. As such, refugee camps both inside and out are preparing to celebrate his home-coming. Khader was also a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council.
