Suha Bishara is a Lebanese activist who was detained without trial for ten years after a failed assasination attempt in 1988 when she shot and wounded the militia leader Antoine Lahd. She was freed from Khiam detention center in September 1998. A report in Al-Ahram called her "The symbol of Lebanon's resistance against Israeli occupation in south Lebanon." [1]

She received the Al-Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights in 2000 as one of five symbols of national struggle and defense.
