IOPT: Good News! Hamdi Mohammad Shahadeh al-Ta'mari - Middle East and Gulf (sitios de interés)

AI spoke to 17-year old Hamdi al-Ta'mari who has been at home for two days now after a year in prison without charge in Israel. He said, "I received one letter from Amnesty International members, at the beginning, that was the first one. Later the guards refused to pass on the letters to me, they just asked, 'Where are you getting all these letters from?' That way I knew I had many letters and that people knew about me, which made the guards pay attention. I wish I could receive those letters now. When I was released, the guard said 'You will just be out for a couple of weeks, then you'll be back' - maybe he was just kidding."
Hamdi plans to resume his studies and apply for the Palestinian secondary school final exams. Then he hopes to study at university and travel abroad. His whole family is rejoicing and he has been seeing his friends, who organised a party for him.
