please forward and distribute widely!
The Free Palestine Subcommittee of the National Lawyers Guild has prepared a new
leaflet, attached here, describing the situation of the Anti-Wall Prisoners in
Palestine - particularly the cases of Jamal Juma', Abdallah Abu Rahmah, and Mohammad
Othman.
We encourage the distribution this leaflet (1 page, front/back), which provides an
overview of the situation and calls to action, at the many upcoming actions for Gaza
and Palestine in the coming days and weeks.
The Anti-Wall prisoners have now joined nearly 10,000 Palestinian prisoners –
including over 400 children -detained by Israeli authorities, many without charge or
trial. According to a recent report from Amnesty International, many Palestinian
prisoners "face medical negligence, routine beatings, position torture and strip
searches by Israeli prison authorities."
As the Guild said at the time of the arrest of Abdallah Abu Rahmah, "Inspired by
their commitment and dedication, the National Lawyers Guild will continue to support
the Bil’in resistance movement and the Palestinian struggle for justice. Israel's
efforts to crush all forms of Palestinian resistance and Israel's continued
settlement construction stand as a direct challenge...to the entire international
community."
The Free Palestine subcommittee of the NLG hopes this leaflet is of use to you in
upcoming actions, events and activities supporting freedom for the anti-Wall
prisoners, freedom for all Palestinian prisoners, an end to the siege on Gaza, and
freedom for Palestine!
