"It is such a horrible experience to have your husband suddenly under arrest without having done anything wrong. My husband was amongst the thousands who were detained six months ago in Arish after three terror attacks took place in Sinai, and is still in detention without charge." "My husband is a teacher and has absolutely nothing to do with the attacks. He does not have any particular political or religious affiliation. We got married only a year and a half ago and had our first baby, Omar, only 25 days before my husband got arrested." "It was Ramadan and the police raided our house only five minutes before the sunset, when we were busy getting food ready for Iftar." "My husband was playing football with his friends in front of our building at the time. Police, however, were not aware that my husband was actually standing outside and stormed blindly into our flat, turning my new furniture upside down in search for him. They did the same to my mother-in-law, who lives right next door." "Those were the most frightening moments in my life. We just stood still, too shocked to understand anything. It looked like police were searching for a dangerous criminal, not an innocent man who may turn out to be a witness. My husband's six-year-old brother has been suffering a psychological trauma ever since." "But it is, of course, my husband who is suffering the most in this whole tragedy. He had been fasting when he got arrested and they did not allow him to even take a sip of water until dawn. He was subjected to severe torture. He had temporary paralysis in his hands after police hung him in the ceiling and gave him electric shocks." "We were allowed to visit him twice, and every time we go, we find him in very poor psychological condition. I took Omar with me in my last visit and my husband could not believe how much his son had changed. My husband was so sad he could not even watch his son whilst growing up." "My husband is the only breadwinner in the family. I'm still a student and I can't work to make ends meet. My father-in-law supports us, but I had to quit college to relieve part of the financial burden." "It's a living nightmare. We don't know what to do to get my husband out. We've almost lost hope he would ever be back. Police told us we don't need to hire him a lawyer because there are no charges against him. If that is how the government deals with innocent people, then how should criminals fare?" "Injustice feels so bitter. It is just illogical that whenever a terror attack occurs, police rounds up just everyone who happens to be a neighbour or a relative of a possible suspect. That suspect, himself, may turn out to be innocent. This general feeling of injustice and suppression will only breed violence and wreak social havoc."
