Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network hilsen:Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is honored to participate in this demonstration in Copenhagen commemorating 69 years of Nakba and standing with the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, 1500 of whom launched a hunger strike for freedom and dignity on 17 April 2017.The hunger strikers have gone without food, subsisting on salt and water, for 35 days. As we stand here together, today, we demand the immediate implementation of these prisoners’ basic, human demands: to end the denial of family visits to Palestinian prisoners, for proper health care and medical treatment, to have access to continue their education, to end the use of solitary confinement and administrative detention, imprisonment without charge or trial.Palestinian prisoners are leaders and strugglers who are an example and a true leadership of the Palestinian resistance and Palestinian people. They represent the Palestinian resistance that has never been crushed through 69 years of Nakba or 100 years of colonization in Palestine. They represent the true leadership of the Palestinian people that the occupier attempts to isolate and lock away. They represent Palestinian national unity in their struggle and confrontation of the occupier. Even more, they exemplify the internationalist struggle of the Palestinian people and the struggle to free all political prisoners in imperialist jails around the world.From Copenhagen to Berlin to Brussels to Paris to Johannesburg to New York to London to Madrid to Athens to Istanbul, alongside the streets of Palestinian cities, villages and refugee camps, people have taken to the streets to stand with the prisoners and their brave and inspiring hunger strike. After 35 days, the situation is more urgent than ever and the prisoners need all of our support and solidarity, to take to the streets, pressure the governments and build the boycott of Israel at all levels to implement the demands of the Freedom and Dignity Strike and demand freedom for all Palestinian prisoners.Today, we stand with you – we will never forget the Nakba. The prisoners will be victorious, freedom is inevitable, and all Palestinian refugees will return home to freedom in a liberated Palestine from the river to the sea.
