Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, a Lebanese militant imprisoned in France for 40 years, has been granted conditional release.

Convicted in 1987 for complicity in the assassination of two diplomats, Abdallah is considered by supporters as a political prisoner, while detractors label him a terrorist.

The French court's decision allows his release on December 6, provided he leaves France permanently.

The National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor's Office plans to appeal the decision, which could delay his release.

Abdallah's case has sparked significant political and public debate, with supporters advocating for his freedom and critics concerned about potential security risks.
