Prison and the life of Agony

Ayman suffered a lot in the occupation jails. The jailers were intent on making his life as miserable and unstable as possible. In 1998 Ayman was shuffled among the prisons of Majedo, Nafha, Asqalan, Al-Ramla, and Beir El-Saba. During the interrogation, Ayman was severely beaten and abused. As a result, he was taken to the hospital. But despite the torture and pain, Ayman took part in a hunger strike organized by fellow prisoners against torture.
