Arab Barghouti

Yes.

Yeah, I was.

And I remember that day very well because it was, you know, I had a traumatic experience because I was attacked by an Israeli settler at the courtroom while I was like 13 back then, because when he got arrested, I was 11.

and that was just the start of this journey that I had to live with my father being away from us not being there in any occasion of my life and you know this is very important to talk about because the day-to-day of the Palestinian life is way more important than to talk about the politics and all of that these are the details that matter.

Yes, I used to see him like once every two years, sometimes three years, but I haven't seen my father in four years.

And I haven't been able to hug my father in 24 years, which is since his imprisonment.

He's never met his six grandchildren in his life.

And we're campaigning for him to change that.

We're campaigning for all Palestinian detainees because everyone lost their minds on Israeli captives, but no one is speaking on behalf of these innocent people.

Yes, he has.

Since October 7th, he was put in solitary confinement as part of the collective punishment policy against the whole of the Palestinian people.

Obviously, he had nothing to do with it.

But he was put in solitary confinement and he has been assaulted 10 different times.

The last three times we learned about them from the lawyer visit, who's the only one who can go and see him, which is every few months only.

He learned that on March 24th he was assaulted, on March 25th and on April 8th.

One of them, they used a dog, they put him on the ground and they let the dog to start kicking him with his paws.

Another time, they assaulted him to the point where he was bleeding for hours, asking for medical treatment with no medical treatment there.

And it's worth mentioning that almost between 90 to 110 Palestinian detainees have been killed inside Israeli prisons in the last two and a half years.

If that was happening to Israelis, everyone would lose their minds.

Yeah, not only that list.
