In the midst of her tears and sadness, as she received the blessed month of Ramadan , in the absence of her captive son, Shadi Muhammad Gawadrah (36 years), who was sentenced to life imprisonment, the occupation disturbed his family’s joy in the holy month, and added a new wound and suffering to her, by arresting her second son, university student Badr (21 years), in The first day of Ramadan.

His fiftieth mother, Khadija Gawadrah, told Al-Quds.com: "My son, Shadi, received the 20th of Ramadan in the prisons of the occupation , which deprived us of him, and his absence from our lives, our occasions, and our tables.

She adds: "Over the past years, we did not know the joy and taste of Ramadan except with its religious rituals, and the month this year was more difficult, after the occupation snatched my second son, and turned him from a student to a prisoner, and we are missing two of our sons at our tables, so which Sharia or law allows this Israeli injustice?

The prisoner Badr is considered the last of his family of 11 members. He was born, raised and lived in the village of Bir al-Basha, south of Jenin , and he experienced with his family the seasons of pain and pain since his childhood, during the journey of chasing and arresting his brother Shadi. His mother, Shadi’s mother, says: “Badr only cared.” With his studies and planning for his future, and after his success in high school, he joined Al-Quds Open University, but the occupation cut him off during his studies in the second academic year.

And she adds: "On the dawn of 3/23/2023, the occupation forces surrounded our house, and stormed it in a barbaric and brutal manner, as it was the first day of the holy month. They detained and isolated family members, until the campaign of tampering, searching and destroying all the contents of the house ended, in a vengeful and fierce manner, with the aim of punishing us." .

And she continues: "During that, they detained our son Badr in one of the rooms of the house, subjected him to field investigation, then handcuffed and blindfolded him and arrested him without allowing us to say goodbye, but our shock was great, and it brought back to us pictures of the terrible suffering that has not ended in our lives since the arrest of my son Shadi, who is still Behind bars, as well as our son Sami, who spent 9 years until he was freed.

Um Shadi, who suffers from several chronic diseases, waited for Badr's return and liberation, and hoped that it would be a mistake in his arrest case, but she was greatly affected, after the occupation refused to release him, and said: "My son is committed to his university and work. He does not interfere in politics and has no activity. All his interests are in his family and his university." He worked after the academic period, and they took him to the cellars for investigation, and when they failed to convict him of any charge or case, they transferred him to administrative detention.

And she adds: "Until today, he was unable to communicate with us, and the lawyer was not allowed to visit him, and we received news through the prisoners that after the end of the investigation with him without convicting him of any charge, they transferred him to administrative detention for a period of 6 months, under the pretext of a secret file, which confirms that his detention is arbitrary and invalid."

And she continues: "Administrative detention is difficult, painful, and very cruel. There is no end to it, and we will continue to live on our nerves, because the intelligence services control his fate and life."

The mother, Umm Shadi, expresses her pride in her children’s steadfastness, despite her daily pain over their absence, and says: “Badr’s arrest comes, and we have been moving between prisons for 20 years, to visit my wounded and sick son, Shadi, who is suffering as a result of his bullet wounds from the occupation and complications affecting his kidneys and vision. It is considered a case of medical negligence in prisons.

And she adds: "Every day I cry for Shadi, who is sentenced for life, and I wait for his freedom and his return to my arms, but today I became sad for depriving me of him and Badr, but we have nothing but patience and steadfastness, faith and supplication to the Lord of the worlds, and we will remain as a Palestinian people who are proud of our heroes and adore this country even if the occupation arrests us." All of us, and my prayers to God are to celebrate their freedom and all the prisoners, and to welcome them with a national wedding on the next holiday.”
