years ago

17 April 1964,

Hamza Younis, a boxer and a Palestinian prisoner, fled prison for the first time. This happened in the Israeli prison in Axkelon with 17 days of atxyl. He fled with two other prisoners after provoking a fight against the armed guards and four hours later came running to Gaza. He was subsequently arrested on two other occasions and on many occasions managed to flee, being admitted in 1967 after an operation and finally in 1974 from Ramla prison. He was a refugee in Sweden.
