After 20 years of captivity in occupation prisons, the Jerusalemite prisoner embraces freedom, today, Thursday.


The prisoner Da'na is from the people of the Wadi Qaddum neighborhood, in the town of Silwan, south of Al-Aqsa Mosque. He was arrested by the occupation on 7/16/20003, along with his two companions Bassem Jaber and Iyad Al-Mahlus, and the occupation accused them of involvement in resistance activities.

His father died two weeks after his arrest, leaving behind his only daughter, Aya, who was one and a half years old, and today she is the mother of two children.

Ali suffered from continuous medical neglect at the hands of the occupation prison administration. He suffers from several diseases, most notably the digestive system, and was forced to go on an open hunger strike in order to obtain treatment.


He was transferred between several prisons, the last of which was the Negev Desert Prison. The occupation re-arrested him immediately after he was released from captivity and transferred him to one of the investigation centers in Jerusalem, and he is expected to be released within hours.
