Release in Prisoner Exchange and Re-Arrest
Ayman Abu Daoud was released in the prisoners exchange deal on 18 October 2011 after serving 7 years out of a 35 year sentence. A condition of his release is that he visit the Israeli-Palestinian Authority military Coordination Office (DCO) in Hebron every two months and “sign-in” as proof of his residency in Hebron, where he resides with his wife and children.
On 13 February 2012, 4 months after their release, Ayman and several ex-prisoners presented at the DCO to sign their names. Ayman entered the DCO and never came out.
The raid was conducted in broad daylight in front of a number of children, including Ayman’s, who still remember the minute details to this moment.
Interrogation and Charges
After his arrest at the DCO, Ayman was transferred to Jalameh/Kishon Interrogation Center and was interrogated while being denied lawyer and family visits for the first ten days of his interrogation. After 15-17 days of interrogation, Ayman was formally charged with distributing financial allocations to persons affiliated with a political party. Due to his status as an ex-prisoner released in a prisoner exchange, Ayman is subject to Article 186 of Military Order 1651, which allows for the military prosecution at Ofer Military Court to demand that he stand in front of a special committee who determines if he should serve the remainder of his previous sentence. Due to this law, Ayman faces a 28 year sentence based on his old charges.
Hunger strike
Ayman Abu Daoud launched a hunger strike on 14 April 2013 in protest of his arbitrary re-arrest especially as he did not violate the terms of the agreement as claimed by the military prosecution. Furthermore, he is on hunger strike in protest of the prosecution’s attempt to sentence him to the remainder of his previous sentence instead of trying and sentencing him based on the new list of charges and not the old ones.
Upon launching his strike, Ayman was transferred from Megiddo Prison to isolation in Jalameh as a punishment. Ayman announced that he will continue his hunger strike until he is released.
Family
Ayman lives in Hebron, near his father, mother and six brother and four sisters. Ayman is married with two children, Mohammad and Qutaiba. Ayman has not suffered from any previous health conditions, although it is expected that his health will deteriorate during his hunger strike.
He is the brother of Raed Abu Daoud, a martyr of the second Intifada. Ayman’s older brother Mahmoud is also detained in Israeli jails. He has been arrested three times, most recently on 2 September 2012. Mahmoud is is detained in Nafha during his latest 34 month sentence.
