The #PalestinianPrisonersMovement : the struggle behind bars.
The issue of #prisoners is a cornerstone of the #Palestinian #liberation struggle and a driver of major uprisings against the #IsraeliOccupation.
Over 10,000 Palestinians are currently imprisoned in #Israel. The issue of Palestinian prisoners has come to the fore amid the ongoing #genocidal violence in #Gaza, becoming both a central demand in the on-and-off #ceasefire talks and a tool for #Israeli forces in their attempts to suppress #resistance in Gaza and the #WestBank. Hand in hand with this history of #repression stands the vibrant Palestinian Prisoners’ Movement, which has mobilized the masses, shaped public opinion, and contributed to pivotal #political, cultural, and social events, including Operation #AlAqsa Flood on October 7, 2023.
Over the past year, reports from Palestinian political prisoners have highlighted ongoing #abuse and #torture by Israeli soldiers. Despite this, the prisoners’ movement remains resilient, drawing strength from its long history in the liberation struggle. This article explores the movement’s history, the repression it has faced, and Israel’s decades-long efforts to dismantle it.
