Abdul Nasser Farawana, a liberated Palestinian prisoner, recalled his experience in the Israeli prison where he had spent many years of his life. The prison is located in central Gaza and is still standing today, with its narrow cells and walls.

The 50-year-old former prisoner passed by the dark prison rooms, which used to house hundreds of men who resisted the Israeli occupation. Gaza Central Prison is one of the most famous Israeli prisons in the sector; it was abandoned by occupation forces in 1993 upon the implementation of the Oslo Accord.
