THE EXPERIENCE OF THE HAR-SI ATEF FAMILY
1. Meri Har-si Atef always received mail on Monday from her son, Ka-Nefer Har-Si Atef, her only child. She came to be so entitled because this was the pact she and Ka-Nefer made more than sixteen years ago. And he was never tardy unless something had happened to prevent him from mailing out his weekly report home!

2. The next day she received a phone call that both she feared receiving. Yet it gave her answers to the questions that terrorized her all day and all night, that she needed to both still/steel her worst fears.

3. He was not dead! But he was in a bad state. A day after he had sent his last letter, the prison he was in.

6. And this was his unofficial policy and approach of dealing with prisoners. To him, they had no constitutional nor human rights! The moment they stepped foot in 'Scamboscobel', those terms ceased to exist. While at D'if, the only rights they had were the ones granted them. "D'if rights", they were called.

7. "Scamboscobel" of "D'if" was a new prison. Twelve years old. And they had six unexplained dealths!!! Written off as prisocides and poof health. Prisoncide, was a neological term authored by a human and prisoners right advocate and activist name: Murid Al-Shafi.
