Jailed Palestinians' wives caught between pride, struggle When he was sentenced to life by Israel a decade ago in a murder case, Ahed Abu Golmi offered to divorce his wife so she could live freely, but she refused. "I love Ahed and we are still connected," said Wafa, who has taken care of their son and daughter alone since her husband went to jail. More than 7,000 Palestinians are currently held in Israeli prisons, with around 600 serving life sentences, including Golmi, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Club rights group.
