"I feel guilty and helpless because I couldn't do anything."

With pain and sorrow, Um Mohammed remembers how her husband was arrested in front of their children. She describes the hardships she faced searching for him in the government's prisons. When she received the news of his death, she kept it a secret from their children, promoting the hope that they might reunite with their father someday.

Um Mohammed's message to women experiencing similar loss is a call to continue their lives, bear the responsibility, demand freedom for prisoners, and regain the bodies of those who perished in those dungeons. She hopes to uncover the truth, whether her husband is alive or still detained.
