Man Serving 27-Year Prison Sentence in Israel Becomes Dad After Smuggling Sperm Out of  Jail to Wife

A Palestinian man half way into his 27-year jail sentence in an Israeli prison has managed to become a dad after smuggling sperm out to impregnate his wife.

DailyMail reports;

Ahmed al-Sokani, 35, from Gaza reportedly told fellow inmates that even if he couldn’t escape, he still intended to become a father without the aid of a conjugal visit.

According to reports from the Gaza Strip, al Sokani’s wife Huwayda gave birth this week to twins named Motaz and Siwar.

According to Abdullah Qandil, a spokesman for the Waed Captive and Liberators Society, a Palestinian non-governmental organisation, some 50 children have been born this way – 10 of them in the Gaza Strip and 40 in the West Bank.

Holding the newborn twins at Gaza City’s Al-Quds Hospital, she told Anadolu Agency (AA), a state-run press agency in Turkey: ‘I can’t put my happiness into words.’

Several Palestinian Muslim scholars – including Ikrima Sabri, a former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine, and Sheikh Hamid al-Bitawi, a former head of the Palestinian Scholar’s League who died in 2012 – have issued legal opinions (fatwas) allowing wives to be inseminated by sperm smuggled from their incarcerated husbands serving out lengthy jail terms in Israel.

When asked how exactly sperm was smuggled out of Israeli jails, sources spoken to have so far refrained from answering due to security reasons.
