TEHRAN (Press TV) -- Lebanese prisoner Nassim Nasser imprisoned by the Zionist regime for six years has been released from the Nitzan Prison in Ramallah.

Nasser was to be accompanied by immigration police officers to the Rosh Hanikra crossing point, where he was to be returned to Lebanon.
He was detained by Israeli troops in 2002 on charges of spying for the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah.
The movement is expecting the release of five other Lebanese prisoners detained during Israel's 33-day war against Lebanon in 2006. Israel had previously announced it would only release them in exchange for two Israeli soldiers held by Hezbollah.
