Occupied Jerusalem -
A number of Palestinians, whom the occupation decided to deport from Al-Aqsa Mosque and prevent them from praying in, are forced to perform prayers at the gates of the mosque and the closest point to it.
The deportees prefer not to appear in the media for fear of Israeli sanctions, but the deportee Khair al-Shimi (Abu Bakr) decided to break the silence and talk to Al Jazeera Net about what he is exposed to, and how he is deprived of performing worship in the second holiest place for Muslims.
Abu Bakr (66 years old) says that he is sad that the third Ramadan has passed for him without greeting him in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque or allowing him to enter it.
He adds that he is heading from the city of Akka, which is more than 200 kilometers away from Jerusalem, to the gates of Al-Aqsa to prove his adherence to it, his rejection of the deportation decision, and that his adherence to Al-Aqsa and his defense of it stems from his faith.
