Dr. Amal Wahdan and Ted Kelly in Damascus, Syria, May 28, 2021.
Workers World: You yourself were a political prisoner. Could you talk about your experience in Israeli custody?
Amal Wahdan: It all started with the First Intifada in 1987 and our forming the Unified Front for the Leadership of the Intifada. We were accused of distributing 60,000 leaflets in all of Palestine, and that’s when we started to be tracked. The Israelis found out where the print shop was that printed the statement, traced one lead to another.
