One month, bearing in mind that he is a former prisoner who spent about nine years, most of which were under administrative detention.

The club pointed out that Amarneh is blind and suffers from several health problems, and he needs care and treatment.

The prisoner has five sons and daughters. His male sons are detained in the occupation prisons alongside him, and they are Ahmed and Mujahid.

His son Ahmed is in administrative detention, while his son Mujahid is serving a 24-month prison sentence.
