Biography
Georges Ibrahim Abdallah (Arabic: Ø¬ÙØ±Ø¬ إبراÙÙ٠عبد اÙÙÙ, born 2 April 1951) is a Lebanese former militant and founder of the Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Factions (LARF). He was convicted of terrorism and served 41 years of a life sentence at Lannemezan prison, France, for complicity in the 1982 assassination of Charles R. Ray and Yacov Bar-Simantov, and was released in July 2025. On 15 November 2024, a French court ordered to release him on 6 December 2024 on the condition that he would leave France. The state prosecution appealed the order. On 17 July 2025, the Court of Appeal of Paris ordered his release, to be followed by an immediate expulsion to Lebanon. This was carried out on 25 July 2025. Described by his lawyer as "the man who has spent the longest time in prison for events linked to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," Abdallah served 41 years in French custody, reportedly longer than any Palestinian prisoner has served in Israel, including those condemned to life imprisonment, according to Le Monde.
