Masri has reportedly been imprisoned by Israel on two occasions, as a 14- and 16-year-old.
At that time it was to say that you were Palestinians who lived during occupation enough to be sent in prison. To carry a Palestinian flag was enough for you to be shot and killed there and then.So we demonstrated against it. That was my activism.

lot going on there. Also for families with children.
