During these years, he carried out several strikes, including individual and group strikes, the latest of which was in 2019, when he carried out a strike that lasted for 89 days, and he was released in February 2020.

There must be a detainee and a target from our family who pays the price for the injustice and targeting of the occupation.. The majority of Tariq’s arrests are administrative and he has not been charged, so how long will this injustice continue?
