Later that year he was arrested; in 1952 he was sentenced to ten years at hard labor. He was freed in 1956 through popular pressure but was forced to emigrate. He returned to Jordan in 1967. Nassar is the author of articles on problems of the national liberation movement in the Arab countries and has translated works by the founders of Marxism-Leninism into Arabic.
