Brooklyn, NYC: Palestinian Political Prisoners Day, April 12

As the Zionist entity continues to escalate the genocide and starvation in Gaza and the annexation of the West Bank, it now holds over 10,000 Palestinians in torture facilities. Here in the imperial core, the repression campaign against the movement for Palestinian liberation has drastically expanded.

It is critical now more than ever to fight for our prisoners, as the Zionist entity and their imperialist backers in the US perpetuate their crimes of illegal kidnapping and administrative detention. The US government, like the Zionist entity, is targeting movement leaders, from campus organizer Mahmoud Khalil to Alfredo “Lelo” Juarez Zeferino, a well-know organizer of farmworkers in Washington State. These targeted arrests, along with the current indiscriminate kidnapping of Black and brown immigrants by ICE, are being justified in the name of “national security.”

How many more have to be killed from torturous conditions in prison, like 17 year-old Walid Khalid Abdullah Ahmad in Megiddo Prison? At New York City’s Rikers Island jails, four incarcerated people have been killed in the past month alone.

Our struggles have always be linked and we will uphold this legacy. At the time of Black political prisoner George Jackson’s assassination, a poem by Palestinian poet Samih al-Qasim was found pinned up on his cell, which reads: “I shall not compromise/ And to the last pulse in my veins/ I shall resist.”

From the HLF5 to Mahmoud Khalil to Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, our prisoners represent the beating heart of our movement. Free our prisoners, free them all!
