According to Mehr news agency, quoted by Al Jazeera, among the free Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment, there are 4 people who have a special bond with each other. They are Samir Abu Nameh, Mahmoud Isa, Baher Badr and Mohammad Abu Tabikh. These four people, who were exiled to Egypt after their release, each has a special story of their unique life.

Samir Abu Nameh; The oldest prisoner of Quds

When Samir Abu Nameh was arrested in 1986, he was a 26-year-old youth with a bachelor’s degree in hotel management. He became a member of the Fatah movement and became a member of the military core of this movement that bombed the Zionist bus in “Jaffa“planned and implemented within the framework of martyrdom-seeking operations against Zionist soldiers.

After severe interrogations and torture, he was in prison Moscow He was sentenced to life imprisonment in Quds. During the captivity, Samir moved between the occupying prisons and carried out various strikes and participated in the management of the activities of the captives’ movement.

Abu Nameh is suffering from many diseases and has undergone 6 surgeries inside the prison. Even in 1993, his name was on the list of the exchange of prisoners between the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Zionist regime, but the Zionists opposed his release.

“Samir” lost his mother and 3 brothers during detention; without being allowed to meet or say goodbye to them. His brother Walid died in 2016 on the night he was preparing to meet him, and his mother waited for him until her death. Samir Abu Nameh finally tasted freedom after 39 years of captivity.

Mahmoud Isa; Commander of the special unit

Mahmoud Musa Issa, a Palestinian freedman, was a unique example of a militant intellectual and the owner of one of the most outstanding intellectual and organizational experiences in the prisoners’ movement. He was born on May 21, 1968 in Anata city in Quds region. He was one of the first youths who joined this movement immediately after the establishment of the Qassam Battalions (the military branch of the Hamas movement) and established “Special Unit 101” in these forces. This was the first cell in Jerusalem that was responsible for capturing Zionist soldiers for exchange with Palestinian prisoners.

On December 13, 1992, this unit carried out the capture of Zionist soldier “Nasim Toledano” near the town of “Led” and buried him in a cave near the village of “Hazma“kept The purpose of this operation, which was carried out under the name of “loyalty to Sheikh Ahmed Yassin”, the founder and leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), was to exchange him with Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who was in captivity of the Zionist regime at that time. Despite the failure of the exchange operation and the discovery of the dead soldier’s body, this incident created an earthquake in Zionist circles.

Nevertheless, Jesus and his companions continued their operation. In March 1993, they ran over another Zionist soldier, Naoum Koller, in al-Khadira, and in the same month, they killed two Israeli policemen in another operation and shot an Israeli officer with the rank of colonel in the city of Ramleh and seriously wounded him.

Issa was arrested on June 3, 1993, after months of pursuit, and was subjected to severe torture and interrogation for two months in the centers of Quds and Ramla, until the occupiers sentenced him to 3 life sentences and 46 years in prison. He spent 13 years of this period in solitary confinement and during this time he was also deprived of visiting his family.

Mahmoud Issa became a writer and thinker during his captivity and wrote several works on political jurisprudence as well as literary and intellectual criticism and analysis.

Bahr Badr; Captivity on the eve of the wedding ceremony

In July 2004, the Badr family was preparing for their son Bahr’s wedding. But a few days before his wedding, Baher was kidnapped from his brother’s house in Ramleh to spend 21 painful years in the prisons of the Zionist regime. After 4 months of torture and severe and focused interrogations, the Zionist court sentenced him to 12 life imprisonment on charges of being a member of the Qassam battalions and helping to carry out martyrdom operations.

Bahr was not alone in this fate; His brother Behij Badr was also arrested on the same night and sentenced to 18 life imprisonment. Even their mother was not spared from the occupation’s clutches, she was also arrested a few weeks later and was locked in solitary confinement despite her chronic illness and old age.

Mohammad Abu Tabikh, a fighter in the fields of jihad and science

He was captured by the Zionists for the first time in 1999 after his first year of university, but he was released soon and quickly returned to the struggle against the occupation. After his release, he joined the ranks of the resistance, especially the Quds Battalions (the military branch of the Islamic Jihad movement).

The occupying forces arrested Abu Tabikh again on July 28, 2002, after participating in the preparation of homemade bombs and helping in the Jenin camp battle, and sentenced him to two life imprisonments and 15 years in prison.

The prison of the Zionist regime did not prevent his success in other fields. During his 22 years in prison, he obtained 3 bachelor’s degrees and a two-volume book titled “Darb Al-Sadeghinwrote that he documented the story of 42 Palestinian prisoners.
