"‼️Freed hostage Sheikh Naji al-Jaafarawi, the brother of martyred journalist Saleh al-Jaafarawi, speaks after his release: “I had been waiting for this day for one year and nine months,” he said. “But when I stepped off the bus at Nasser Hospital, I didn’t find Saleh waiting for me. Instead, I was told he was martyred a day earlier.” -Naji describes sitting in silence, unable to stand, as the joy of freedom vanished. “ During his 19 months in Israeli occupation captivity, Naji and his fellow hostages turned the darkness of prison into light, memorizing Qur’an verses by writing them on the walls, teaching one another and finding faith through pain. @sotouries" - Source
