Yair has recently been accepted to work in a human rights organization, but he hasn’t begun his training as planned, since on his first day on the job, he got arrested during a march to the Gaza Strip to oppose the genocide together with 300 activists. He has been in house arrest since, and I’ve come to visit him and hear about this experience.
