Send a "wise man" and don't advise him :says the Pre -Islamic Poet Torfah Ibn Alabd .When in need of a messenger Send a "wise man" and don't advise him .
almost a year ago Abd Al Razzag Al Fadli's family sent their "wise man “from his home in Sabah Al Nasser area in a need that is missed by the whole family and thousands more, a need that is seen by some as stolen rights appreviated by Abd Al Hakeem in a single word "Freedom" .
A freedom that he sought since he was a student in school repeating the national anthem "my home land Kuwait, glory is yours". The same freedom he seeks is close but cannot be reached. a freedom he dreams of every night to be awakened by chained vocabulary such as security restrictions, executive committee, central committee for the stateless, a green card and other words that makes him feel a stranger in a country he knows not another.
Abd Al Hakeem completed thirty five years of age, memorized the road to Taima. Since the 18 of February last year a connection grew between him and The "Freedom Square" an epic love story, which he reciprocated with it with flowers and blood donations to greet him back by encompassing him and patting his head, he gave it his feelings of gratitude after he regained his long lost patriotism and on its soil he regained his wasted affiliation, and became proud of him because he made the world know of it after it was a long forgotten place.
Abd Al Hakeem who never thought of committing to a woman because it will distract him from his goal and from Taima and its Square, he was used to going there armed with the flag of his country and the same words he memorized since childhood" my home land Kuwait, glory is yours", but how can the flag and the anthem be met with tear gas bombs, hot water and the special forces clubs.
The punishment that Hakeem, the lover of his country received didn't only include a deprivation to his right of communication with his beloved, it surpassed that, and he who was looking for freedom, free in his homeland became a prisoner.
imagine ....he stayed chasing freedom until it lead him to prison but for a young man like "Hakeem", this small prison didn't compare to the bigger one that deprived him of his absolute freedom, not caring and not wanting to get out of it, even when he was ordered to be released on bail he never hesitated and decided to remain with the rest of the detainee.
How can he be released alone and the freedom he sought for long be partitioned? the freedom he wants and wishes for is not only exclusive to him, it should also include, his brother Abd Al Hadi and to Ahmed, Nawaf, Bandar and Eid and lots more. Abd Al Hakeems brother Abd Al Nasser says :" My father and I refused the release of Abd Al Hakeem without the remaining detainees, How can we face their parents if we did that?"
With no prior arrangement Abd Al Hakeem took it upon himself to make the same decision. His family fully trusted the wisdom of his decisions even before they sent him to Taima in February of last year.
