5 days of a prisoner out of the prison.
The words quoted by Yaqub Al-Qaderi’s lawyer are extremely heavy; “He has experienced 5 days of life outside prison and these 5 days became the most beautiful days of his life. During these 5 days, he saw Palestine, walked its streets, ate its fruit and kissed Palestinian children.”
5 days is not a total of our lives, but it is too much for those who have been deprived of their freedom for decades.
He spent 5 days without a wake-up call and watched the sky over the barbed wire.
He did not hear the annoying sound of the lock for 5 days and watched the star without disturbing the prison projectors.
We just go through the days, but they live it moment by moment and every second.
Nail al-Barghouti, an old prisoner who has spent more than 42 years in captivity, describes from his cell how he watched the empty space of the building through the small window of the cell, and how that empty space became a large building and a The boy and the girl settled there and they watched as they walked together in the garden of the building. They had children and how that child grew up and started running in the garden of their house. All these events and days passed and Barghouti remained there. His jailer retired after many years and was replaced by his son.
The days go by one after the other and are forgotten in our minds, but for a prisoner the situation is different. For him, every minute is equal to a lifetime of torment. In prison, figures and bodies grow old and depraved. There is no point in a homeland without a human being who has its citizenship, defends it and has prejudice and zeal for it.
A high cold wall that surrounds the prisoners has cracked and a few bricks have been cut. Now it is the turn of the people and the government and the resistance to destroy the rest of the wall with their own tools.
