Ouda Tarabin (Arabic: عودة ترابين, Hebrew: עודה תראבין; born in 1981) is an Israeli Bedouin who was imprisoned in Egypt for 15 years on suspicion of spying for Israel after illegally crossing the Israeli-Egyptian border.
Tarabin, then aged 19, was arrested in 2000 after he illegally crossed the border from Israel (his brother suggests he went over to visit his sister in El-Arish).
The stated basis of the prosecution was testimony given by Ouda's Egyptian cousin, Eid Suleiman, who was arrested for similar charges in 1999.
The trial was conducted under Egypt's 1981 emergency law, granting police sweeping powers of arrest.
Druze MK Ayoob Kara met with Tarabin's family to work to secure his release.
