but some women wouldn't let go, so the guards came in and took their children by force. Shabawi drew Heba into her lap. She put her arms around her and hugged her.

They were allowed to nurse them for a few weeks and then the guards took the babies away. It was a fate spare we feared as well because when she was arrested with Heber, her two-year-old, she was also a few weeks pregnant.

She still doesn't know what her crime was, but in prison she was told she'd be released soon and she was given one phone call. So she called her sister and asked if somebody could pick her up and she told her sister, Heva isn't with me. I don't know where she is.
