He continued: "Seeing people around the world advocate for him gives me hope. I wish our family's experience was unique, but numerous of Palestinian families suffer the same hardship."

"Celebrating him in this way is not only a call for his release – it is a demand for the freedom of all Palestinian prisoners and a stand for fairness for every family still anticipating."
