00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			Look at this love letter that was
written by Palestinian hostages
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:08
			who are being held in an Israeli
prison near Ramallah. They write
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:12
			that they are basically alive but
dead. They are treated so
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			horrifically, and they're not
asking for any type of help, but
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			they said that everything's been
confiscated from them, including
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:23
			their watches. And you can imagine
the horrors and oppression in an
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27
			Israeli prison. They don't have
access to being able to see what
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31
			time of day it is, to be able to
tell where the sun is, so that
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:35
			they could know whether or not it
is time for Salah and which Salah
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:40
			it is time for. And so they are
asking for the people who live are
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:45
			nearby to where this prison is, if
when they are making salah, they
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			could make the speaker louder, so
that when the Advan is called,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			that these Palestinians who are
held in an Israeli prison can hear
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			the call for Salah and that they
can pray on time.
