from Mariam Al-Sheikh

Dear Khader Adnan.

Never have i seen a person with such courage, determination, commitment and most importantly dignity throughout my 
short years of life.
I struggle to find words to explain how we are all feeling right now, watching you survive 61 days of hunger strike.
People couldn't believe me when i told them your story.

The truth is Mr.Khader you are a hero! 
What you have done has inspired us all to stand up for our rights and the rights of our fellow "humans" no matter what 
the price. It is truly remarkable that you are putting your life at risk for the sake of the palestinian people and for the sake of 
all those who are misfortunate in this world.

We want you to know that we are proud of you and watching you like that, knowing that we can't do much hurts us deeply.
But we can only pray and hope that you'll go back to where you belong. Safe and sound.

Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family who must be suffering through this ordeal.

God bless you.

Mariam
