Background:

Ameen was born in Al-khalil in 1978, and has five brothers and sisters. His father died during his imprisonment, and his mother is ill. Ameen finished his primary school from Al-Thaheria school and studied electronic engineering in the Polytechnic Institute in Al-Khalil.

Jihad & Imprisonment:

Ameen formed the resistance cell with his comrade Eyad Al-Battat to work against occupation forces in the occupied Palestinian areas. One of his operations was killing a Zionist settler near his hometown, Thaheria. And in 1998, Ameen injured three Zionist soldiers in an exchange of fire. At the end of the battle, his comrade Eyad was martyred after shooting an occupation officer.

Ameen was injured in the battle, and was detained by occupation forces. They took him to prison and subjected him to interrogation and torture. He spent 90 days in a cell, and was deprived of sleep because his hands and legs were chained.

The occupation forces' crimes against Ameen did not stop with torture. They went to his house, destroying the furniture and arresting Ameen's father (55), brother, uncles, and friends.

He was sentenced life sentence  and then transferred to Nafha prison, where he is a preacher and a spokesman for the prisoners.
