On the 14th of June 1982 Jamal was with his friends in the Faculty of Sciences in the Lebanese University in Hadath. In that location and on that day, he went missing along with 15 of his friends. When Jamal didn’t come back home that day, his father first suspected that he was kidnapped by the Israelis. Jamal’s friend informed the father that he saw Jamal being taken to Karantina. Other friends had told the father that they had seen him being taken by a political militia to the Barrack of Werwar. When the father went to Werwar trying to see if his son was there, they wouldn’t let him in. Ever since, Jamal’s father has been going around looking for him and asking for help from different politicians who keep on referring him to someone else.
