Istanbul – On September 4, 2002, the Israeli Israeli occupation authorities arrested Fahmy Mashhara, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment 20 times (for life), after accusing him and his brother Ramadan of a martyrdom delivery that carried out a operation that resulted in the killing of 19 Israelis in 2002.
Mashhahrah was liberated on January 25 within Exchange That was concluded between the Islamic Resistance Movement (agitation(Israel.
In a special interview with Al -Jazeera Net with him and his wife in his exile TurkeyBefore answering any of the questions, the Jerusalem editor was designed to send a speech to the Palestinian resistance.
He said, “To our Savior, our eliminations, and our freedom from the injustice of the occupation and its jailers, you are the people of pride and dignity … Peace be upon Gaza, which we supported the nation before Palestine And Jerusalem, which raised the affairs of every Arab and Muslim .. Hehe, humiliation of us, because we are the people of God, which God cherished with Islam and with enthusiasm, and we do not care wherever we are found in prisons, in graves, or in exile, our whole life is for God and for his sake, and then for the sake of pride, dignity and earth.
Mashaher talked about his story and his wife in having 4 children through sperm from prisons, most of what I miss in Jerusalem and other issues.
The following is the text of the dialogue:
-
Were you expecting to be released in a one day exchange deal, or did the hope to do so was gradually fading over time?
There was always a relative hope according to the strength of the person’s faith in God, and according to the circumstances surrounding us as prisoners and wars on the northern and southern fronts in the country.
I can say that we have never despaired, and hope was surrounding us from every direction .. We were only waiting for “be it and it”, despite the long time that passed while I was in prison, the day came when it stopped at the threshold of my cell when God willed that and with honor and pride that you cannot say or do.
-
Your name was not included in the list of deportees, but you got out of the country of your own free will, why?
The story is simply that wherever I am my land and from it we complete the path, and the choice of exile is because of my personal security and I do not want to live in constant tension for fear of arresting me again, and in addition to that, my two brother Ramadan has been removed and we went together to exile.
-
How was your first station in Egypt, then how does your life look now in Türkiye?
Host us Egypt – Thank you- in the best way, and then Türkiye is grateful because it did not shorten with us at all, but the joy is still incomplete and has a lump for what is happening to our people in Gaza, from the massacres, killing and destruction of our people And genocide For children and women first and foremost, and what remains of the prisoners from behind us, and we ask God Almighty that the war will end soon or God wills for what is greater and our brothers are released from behind us.
-
What did you miss most in Jerusalem?
Jerusalem Al -Ain’s eyeball derives its alleys, squares and trees And the rock sole The supervisor, and for her family, who if they are tenth, cannot separate them.

Your wife gave birth to 4 children through smuggled sperm, and perhaps this is the largest number of captive movement, why did you decide to go through this experience?
From God Almighty to us with 6 children, two before my prison, namely Ubaidah and Zina, and four after my arrest, and they are dear, Eid, and the twins, Aya and Ahmad.
We always asked ourselves “What action?” The time is long and lifeless does not end and the vacuum is a killer, and many ideas raided us because childbearing from inside the prison was always in my mind, but all legal and legal methods were unsuccessful in front of the intransigence, suppression and domination of the prison administration.
Consequently, we decided to go through the experiment in the “thora” way, because this jailer only understands the language of strength, and the idea of continuing my life and increasing the number of my family and I was sentenced to life imprisonment 20 times is the most appropriate to slap this boasting himself security, which is the opposite.
When the jailer received the first slap on his face, smuggled from the prisoner, Ammar Al -Zabin, after which he received hundreds of slaps from every prisoner who planted smuggled sperm in what was known as “ambassadors of freedom”.
After confirming the legal fatwa and the approval of the parents from both sides, the cultivation was attended by two witnesses from each party in the place where the cultivation took place, and we provided our children through the smuggled sperm in 2013, 2018 and 2023.
He managed to have four of them through a smuggled sperm from inside his prison …
He was sponsored by life imprisonment 20 times, and was liberated in the freedom flood deal between the resistance in Gaza and the Israeli occupation.

How was your meeting with your five children, because we know that your son Ubaidah is forbidden to meet you?
The meeting with my five children was a great dream that was achieved after it was pure from imagination, I dreamed daily that my body embraced the bodies of my children, and I still live this dream that really occurred.
The absorption of the matter is difficult so far and it is already a miracle, the twin Ahmed and Aya Walad before the battle.Al -Aqsa Flood“Just six months and I did not see her while I was in prison, but when I met them, they ran me up and the word” Baba “shouting from their throats and reaching my hearing and knocking my emotion.
My five children are adornment, dear, Eid, Ahmed and Aya, they absorbed the meeting completely, and until now I did not understand the event as it should, and whenever the days have passed, the features of parenting and family appear to me, so my children became a resort to me when needed and upon my return to the house they run me.
As for my meeting with Zina, who was born before my arrest, he had another luster, Zina, who was forcibly left by two years old, and she was the mother of three children, and this alone is an endless story. As for Ubaidah, I am waiting for the meeting with him soon, God willing.

Did your life start now, and how do you plan and your wife for the future?
My life has not started yet, because I still live in prison inside me, and I still dream of imprisonment, and in my prayers I invite to get out of it even though I am now outside it, with the grace of God everything I need is available, and the brothers who were the cause of release of our release did not shorten with us in an ampiated, but psychological stability and engagement in society need some time.
How was Samia to relieve the pain of families, and how did the messages between you contribute to enhancing your relationship as a couple?
My wife lived with me all the details and lived the prison experience moment by moment, and I learned well what the restriction and the nature of the pain and the suffering that we were living in daily.
She suffered for 23 years for 23 years and more than I suffered, because she was the mother, father and nanny .. Umm Ubaidah, who has the credit for raising my six children in the best way.
There is no doubt that the messages that I sent to my wife, my children, my mother and my father are reassured about them, and they embraced my messages and accepted them and held celebrations when he arrived .. My mother was embracing my messages for a full day, and made everyone around her read them once and twice and ten, and my father always forgets and swallows them.
-
Many called Samia the title of “sincere splendid wife”, what did Samia bear away from you, and did she share the responsibilities of the children?
I left a great pregnancy from the back of the mother of Ubaidah and succeeded in his pregnancy, and with the appreciation of God, she was gave up with that sincere woman who has fulfilled her life for the sake of God and in patience for affliction, and she is alone between 4 walls, her six children raise the best education, she now deserves to be on the throne of comfort and stability, and to lean on the fixed walls Glory.
As the late Sheikh said Ahmed Yassin “If God is satisfied with me,” and that the war will end from our people in Gaza, and that the rest of the prisoners be freed from prisons, and to be the end Israel On the hands of the resistance in Palestine only, and that God Almighty will take revenge on us from all those who failed and conspired against us, and to live with my family, love, security and stability.
-
Samia, do you feel your feeling at the moment when the name of Fahmy was included in the exchange deal?
The tongue is unable to express .. I felt that night at the dinner call to prayer as if the feast enlargements were shouting in my home, perhaps that was a message from God because I was watching the inclusion of the name of Fahmy in any of the sites where the prisoners’ lists appear.
My children are waiting for their father on the warmest of embers and follow the media in all its forms, perhaps news or any news that he preaches to its liberation, and upon the inclusion of his name I prostrated to God prostrating thanks, then I heard his name on Al -Jazeera channel Within the prescribed batch.
-
Have you been disappointed when your husband decided to travel outside the country?
At first I felt anxious and feared from alienation and left the family, loved ones and neighbors from behind me, and later I convinced myself that I was waiting for this meeting, and that my children are eager to live with their father wherever he is, and I want to hold me the responsibility of life and the children that I hold for 23 years alone .. I want to live a life full of love, happiness and joy.
-
How was the first meeting outside prison bars, and did you have hope that my understanding would be liberated despite his high sentence?
A meeting with a composed feelings of joy and joy to nostalgia to meet the beloved after a long parting, and after a torrent of longing.
My hope was not cut off by God Almighty, and I knew that the day of liberation would come and break the restriction and the cell will go away, they see him far and see it soon, I always hoped that my understanding would be free with an honorable exchange deal, and this hope was keeping me alive.
How was the meeting of your children and the adornment of the married woman with their father, and who grew up between him and Fahmy an exceptional relationship?
A meeting of the most beautiful meetings, I did not expect a verse and Ahmed, who did not come to the two years of their life to rush to their steps towards my husband and call him “Baba” because they had not seen him before.
Dear eyes, full of joy in her father’s presence next to her, and Eid as well, and he was the one who dreamed of living with his father like the rest of the world.
-
How was the first meeting outside prison bars?
The first meeting was a moment that does not resemble others, in which tears mixed with a smile and joy with fear that the moment would be just a dream .. I saw him in front of me free but my eyes were looking for the effects of years, about the one who was absent .. We got silent first and then the hearts spoke, and I no longer need messages anymore because I see him alive in front of me, and this alone is a miracle.
-
You told me that one day you wanted to have more children with smuggled sperm because children and raising them occupy you and make time pass, but my understanding opposed this at some point and said that he wanted to have children after his liberation, are you planning to have more children now?
Motherhood is a great blessing, and God has blessed me with six children that I am proud of, what we think now is to restore our lives quietly and give our children the safety and love that was lost for years, but the issue of having new children is not the easy decision and needs internal preparation first, and the most important is the quality in giving, not abundance.
-
We know that exile is not easy and the start of life from scratch is complicated, but how do you see life since my understanding is free, where will children learn? What are your future plans?
Exile is not easy, as it is uprooting from the homeland and memories, but the presence of my husband beside me after I leave the prison and after a long absence, gave me some tranquility and a feeling of safety, because we together face alienation as a shoulder with a shoulder and this in itself makes exile less cruel.
-
Hundreds of messages under the title “To Samia” and I received from my understanding during the years of his arrest, and you keep it in two bags. Did he write something for you after his liberation, or did you get the page of the messages forever?
The messages that he wrote to me in prison was a life we write on paper, and our only way to stay together despite the walls.
After his departure, we no longer need paper because today we live what we were dreaming about in the lines, the words did not stop but changed, it became a real existence, because the pages were silent a little .. but the heart is still writing.
