He sings in prison
His beautiful voice now sings out in prison.
Oday al-Khatib was accused of throwing stones and now faces 10 years in prison. The maximum sentence for throwing stones under Israeli military law is 20 years.
The only good thing here is that this article appeared in theLondon Review of Books, which means people not normally interested in Middle Eastern politics will read about this and feel horror and disgust at the Occupation.
