But the two of us realized we have so much in common.
And most importantly, we have the same goal.
Yes, it was Ramadan.
We just got up to do the pre-fast meal, and a group of soldiers pounded on our doors, came into my room, which I shared with my brother.
Him and I actually shared a bed.
Taser is nine years older than me.
I'm the youngest, and he's the one just older than me.
And they took him for questioning with the allegation that he threw rocks.
We didn't know where he was, what
prison with any information about him for quite a while until eventually we figured out that he was being interrogated and eventually confessed to the charges that were assigned to him.
He refused to confess in the beginning, and so he was tortured for quite a bit, and it caused
significant damage to his health.
When he was released from a prison, 10 months later, soon after, we ended up taking him to a hospital, and he ended up dying from his injuries in the hospital.
And it's, like you said, there are no words that can describe it.
Important to say, like Mao said, my brother isn't the only person I know who was killed.
Our next-door neighbor just died in being killed, who was Taysir's best friend just soon
Before that, my dad's cousin who was killed by settlers a few years after that and other friends and other family members as well.
And this is what we know.
We tell people all the time, look, you might think this hasn't happened to me.
So I didn't have to go through this experience.
