Video| Palestinian mother celebrates her son's birthday in front of Israeli jail right before he starts jail time
Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- The family of Abed Barbar gathered to celebrate his birthday in the most bizarre place ever: in front of Magiddo jail.
Mona, Abed's mother, appeared in a video hugging her son and singing him the happy birthday song while he carries a cake. Tears of sadness did not stop as Abed was supposed to be jailed right after his mother ends her song.

Abed Barbar is a former prisoner from Ras Al Amoud in Silwan, Jerusalem. He had been jailed by the occupation state several times in recent years. This time he will have to spend a month in Magiddo jail over beating an Israeli soldier back in 2016.
And as it is not usual for a Palestinian citizen not to spend time in Israeli jails, Mona Barbar is also a former prisoner, her husband had spent nine years in Israeli jails as well, and Abed himself had been arrested over 20 times since he had turned 12 years old.
