“My daughter, Julia, my love.” With these words, the liberated Palestinian prisoner, Anhar al-Deek, embraced her firstborn child, after Sajida fell down, thanking God Almighty, at the gates of the Israeli Salem military checkpoint in the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank, following her release from Damon Military Prison. Last Thursday, the second of September, in return for imposing house arrest on her, and imposing a fine of 40,000 shekels, about (50,000 dirhams).
Anhar, aged 26, met her two-year-old daughter, Julia. It was the moment she moved from the pain of chains to the breeze of freedom, after a six-month deprivation, which she spent behind bars with her unborn child in her womb.
As a result of her deteriorating health condition, exposure to harsh psychological conditions, and deliberate medical neglect by the Israeli Prisons Administration, Anhar al-Deek sent a distress message that she wrote in her handwriting inside the cell in which she spent her pregnancy, since she was captured on the eighth of last March, and she is pregnant in her third month.
After her conditional release, Anhar al-Deek will deliver her fetus, Alaa, through a caesarean section, within the next few days, according to doctors in Palestinian hospitals.

"Emirates Today" met the liberated captive, Anhar al-Deek, at her father's house in the village of Kafr Nima, Ramallah district, in the West Bank, after returning from the medical examination of her birth process, where she spent her conditional release and house arrest.
The liberated captive said, while embracing her daughter (Julia), whom she knew only through the pictures she used to watch while her mother was in captivity: “I did not imagine that I would give birth to my son inside the cell, and perform a caesarean section while I was tied, without the presence of my mother and my husband to side".
Al-Deek continues: "This obsession intensified with the approach of my birth date, especially with the crowding of questions in my mind, the most difficult of which is how I will transport my child from the hospital to prison, through the cart equipped with the iron cage known as (Al-Bosta)."
She points out that the severity of the pain she was facing, especially during the last two months of her pregnancy, and the fear of performing a caesarean section while she was captive, prompted her to write a letter in her own hand, and leaked her from prison, in order to move urgently to release her.
According to the expression of the liberated captive, the text of the letter she wrote, which fueled feelings of sadness, anger and solidarity at the Palestinian level and the whole world, stated: “Lord, have mercy, what should I do if I was born far from you, and you know the pain of a Caesarean delivery outside prison!
How is it inside it when I am bound by myself!”
In her letter, Al-Deek revealed her pain and fear of giving birth in prison, as she said in her letter: “I feel very tired, and I have severe pains in the pelvis and strong pain in my feet, as a result of sleeping on the prison bed (perch), and I do not know how I will sleep on it after an operation. The caesarean section, and how I will take my first steps after the operation, with the guard holding my hand in disgust.”
The liberated captive explains that the decision to release her was a result of the widespread movement following the message she sent from behind bars, adding: “But this is not a final release, but rather until the date of the final judgment pronouncement by the Occupation Court, as the occupation decision includes my attendance at all court sessions scheduled after Birth process".
free birth
Al-Deek continues, saying, "This is a victory for my will. The decision to parole and house arrest is millions of times less painful than medical negligence and childbirth behind bars, and my child being tied to my side behind bars."
Al-Deek did not expect that the occupation would release her, until she was transferred from Damoun Prison to Salem Military Checkpoint, just before her release.
She says, "I did not believe that I was out of prison, and that I would give birth to my child free without bars and restrictions, and this feeling remained until the first night I spent outside prison at my father's house."
She continues by saying: "Freedom is not valued by the treasures of the entire earth, and the joy of obtaining it cannot be described by words combined. After great suffering, the nightmare that used to haunt me every night has ended, and today I am free, and my son will be born free, away from the darkness of prison and the oppression of the Israeli prison administration."
catastrophic conditions
The occupation arrested Anhar al-Deek on charges of attempting to carry out a stabbing attack in a settlement outpost on Mount Kisan, near her town, Kafr Nima.
During the detention of the liberated captive, Al-Deek collapsed, on International Women's Day, which lasted for six months until she gained her freedom in early September, and her family was only allowed to visit her once, and it was for the husband only.
The liberated captive says: "Israel attacks and kills the Palestinian while he is on his way to his land and work. I was arrested while I was a pregnant woman, and there is no justification for that."
She added: “After the arrest by the occupation soldiers, they violently and excessively beat me all over my body, even though I told them that I was a pregnant woman, and then I was transferred to the Israeli (HaSharon) detention center, and was placed in a cell that lacked the minimum necessities of life. They did not take care of them. I am a pregnant woman, and I spent an entire month with her.”
Al-Deek describes the conditions of her detention inside the “HaSharon” detention camp as very bad, as the occupation deliberately did not provide her with bedding inside the prison, in addition to the deliberate medical neglect of her being a pregnant woman, with little food provided to her.
After her interrogation period, during which she was beaten and medically neglected, ended, Anhar al-Deek was transferred to Damoun Prison, where 36 Palestinian female prisoners are held, out of 41 female prisoners who are behind bars, including 11 mothers.
Editor Al-Deek notes that she faced catastrophic conditions inside Damoun Prison, where female prisoners suffer from restrictions and deprivation of the most basic rights, the most important of which are visiting their families, and medical care, indicating that she was transferred from prison to the hospital for the necessary examinations because she is pregnant, while she is tied inside the “Al-Bosta” vehicle. Which lacks the conditions and standards of comfort and safety.
Rooster: Parole is a victory of my will. Parole and house arrest are a million times less painful than medical negligence, childbirth behind bars, and having my child handcuffed by my side behind bars.
