Hana's resisting her only way. Doing so shows extraordinary courage. She's willing to die for justice. What greater sacrifice than that!
Despite appalling mistreatment, her spirit's indomitable. She inspires others to resist injustice their way and support her and others like her.
Hana explained it best, saying:
"This is for all the prisoners and not for me alone."
It's also about wanting global attention paid to intolerable abuses vital to condemn and end. Hana's willing to die so others can live free.
What greater sacrifice than that! Her struggle is ours. We're all Hana Shalabi!
