RETURNED AFTER 21 YEARS
Imad Ebu Ramuz, who was released today after a 21-year sentence as part of the prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas, returned to the West Bank. The 52-year-old Ramuz was welcomed with great enthusiasm in the city of Hebron, and tears of joy were shed when he reunited with his family.
"THEY WANTED ME NOT TO SPEAK"
In his statement, Ramuz said, "We thank everyone who contributed to the realization of our freedom. The Israeli occupation wanted me not to speak, but our people deserve thanks. Throughout the war, we were subjected to daily assaults by Israeli guards, faced food and drink shortages, and were medically neglected by Israeli guards. There are marks on my body from being beaten and assaulted by Israeli guards," he said. Ramuz noted that the feeling of freedom is indescribable and expressed his gratitude to the Palestinian people for the beautiful welcome.
