The son of the Palestinian prisoner Mohamed al-Tous held for 33 years running in Israeli jails has launched a cry for help saying he has been feeling lonely without his father by his side.
According to the Palestinian Prisoners Center for Studies al-Tous a native of al-Khalil’s town of Jaba’a is the longest serving Palestinian detainee in the occupied West Bank and the third in Palestine.
Life-sentenced al-Tous has been jailed since October 6 1985 after the Israeli authorities charged him with carrying out anti-occupation operations.
He is the sole survivor of a bloody attack by the Israeli occupation forces near the Jordanian borders in 1985 against a Palestinian commando unit. At the time al-Tous was injured and arrested.
His son Shadi said that the family has gone through hard times due to the absence of their father.
“Our situation has gone from bad to worse after my mother died of a stroke. My brothers and I have been gone orphaned ever since”
Shadi expressed hope that his father would be released in a new prisoner swap deal with the Israeli occupation.
