RAMALLAH Feb 22 (JMCC) - The leader of Bilin's protests against the Wall writes of the hardships in Israeli prison, two months after Abdullah Abu Rahma was arrested in his home.
Food is a critical issue here in Ofer, there’s not enough. We survive by buying ingredients from the prison canteen that we prepare in our tent. We have one small hot plate, and this is also our only source of warmth. Those whose families can put money in an account for us to buy food, do so, but many cannot afford to. The positive aspect to this is that I have learned how to cook! Tonight I made falafel and sweets to celebrate the news about our victory. I cannot wait to get home and cook for my wife and children!
