Detainees sons dreams to hug his Father for 10 minutes

"I wish I could stay longer within his arms, but the Israelis banned me because the visit lasted for three minutes only." I felt cold, as Ibrahim continued talking about his deep desire to hug his father. Hilmi al-Emawi, the father of Ibrahim, deserves to be honored, for he spent 20 years behind the Israeli bars, leaving behind a patient wife and an only son. Hilmi al-Emawi, 44, was detained in 1993; he was charged with killing an Israeli Zionist, and sentenced to a life prison. Away From Home Ibrahim moved to reside in a new house in Deir al-Balah two years ago. There, he got married, and had a son. He named him Hilmi after his father's name. Ibrahim had few memories about his father. "I was just three years old, when the Israeli occupation forces detained my father," Ibrahim said. "Many military vehicles surrounded our house before they detain my father." "He lived in prison with Abdual Aziz al-Rantisi," said Ibrahim. Ibrahim has been prevented from visiting his father in prison since 2006 because he is by now 23 years old. Ibrahim was raised in his grandfather's house. He used to ask about his father, but the answer was always that he is being held in Israeli detention. "My father has been detained for twenty years. That is enough," said Ibrahim. Ten minutes Only Everyone, who would listen to Ibrahim talking about his father, would feel agonized. He wish he could hug his father for ten minutes. Hilmi's mother and wife are visiting him in detention since the Shalit-Palestinian Prisoners swap deal was reached. Ibrahim's grandfather died seven years ago. He had always wished to see his son before he was dead.
