PFLP PRISONERS TO DECLARE HUNGER STRIKE

Palestinian prisoners affiliated to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) declared intention to go on an open hunger strike in protest against Israeli targeting of detained PFLP leaders and Israeli medical negligence, and in solidarity with Walid Daqqa and other sick prisoners in Ramla prison hospital.

54 PFLP-affiliated prisoners will be the first group to be engaged in the hunger strike after Israeli authorities refused to release the sick prisoner, Walid Daqqa, and continued to target the imprisoned PFLP leader Ahmed Saadat.

Earlier Thursday, the Israeli Prison Service extended the solitary confinement of Ahmad Saadat for two weeks, in addition to denying him family visits for one month.

21ST ANNIVERSARY OF THE ABDUCTION OF AHMAD SA’ADAT: PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY IMPRISONMENT AND “SECURITY COOPERATION” CONTINUING CRIMES

15 January 2023 marks the 21st anniversary of the abduction of Palestinian leader Ahmad Sa’adat by the Palestinian Authority — at the behest of and as part of “security coordination” with the Israeli occupation in 2002. Sa’adat, the General Secretary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, has now been imprisoned consistently since that time — first by PA security, then under US, British, Canadian and Turkish guard in a PA prison in Jericho, and now, for the past 17 years, inside Israeli jails alongside 4,750 fellow Palestinian political prisoners after occupation forces’ deadly siege on Jericho and the kidnapping of Sa’adat and his comrades in 2006.

The arrest of Sa’adat on 15 January 2002 was emblematic of the deep damage the crime of “security cooperation” has done to the Palestinian people and their national cause. “Security cooperation” has meant nothing but attacks on the Palestinian resistance at the behest of Israel, committed by Palestinian Authority hands. The abduction of Ahmad Sa’adat, and his imprisonment – and that of his comrades – in the PA prison in Jericho, under U.S. and British guard, was a clear example of the PA’s status as fundamentally beholden to the interests of Israel, the U.S. and other international powers, at the expense of the Palestinian people and the Palestinian resistance....

Today, as in the case of Sa’adat — who was ordered released by a Palestinian Authority high court but remained held in Jericho until the Israeli assault — Palestinians continue to be locked up by PA security forces despite Palestinian courts ordering their release, another indication of the lack of meaningful sovereignty or self-determination of the PA.

A MESSAGE FROM PALESTINIAN PRISONERS TO INTERNATIONALISTS IN THE WEEK OF ACTION TO FREE AHMAD SA’ADAT AND ALL PALESTINIAN PRISONERS

In recent years, many people have been told that we have reached the end of the revolutionary era, that the time of revolutionaries is over, and only liberalism, individualism and selfishness are dominant in this world. However, proof that this world is still turbulent with revolutionary spirit is found in the international campaign of solidarity with the leader Ahmad Sa’adat, Abu Ghassan. He is a revolutionary shout that reminds the world that revolution is not only an idea and a choice, but a human duty as well.

The voice of Abu Ghassan, the imprisoned leader, is a revolutionary shout from the depths of the dungeons of the enemy, reminding us of the revolution’s symbols and goals, including lifting injustice and oppression from people wherever they are. Palestine is not an imagined geography, it is part of this world and still represents the destination of revolutionaries everywhere.

To all comrades in the international campaign spread throughout the world…To the free people of the world…Your support for the leader Ahmad Sa’adat is an integral and important part of all efforts calling for and promising revolutionary upsurge to confront the forces of occupation and injustice. Continue your struggle, support and solidarity with the Palestinian prisoners’ movement and with freedom fighters around the world. These efforts remain a source of pride for all of us.

Finally, this brief message of ours does not come only to support Abu Ghassan, but rather what he embodies and represents: steadfastness, dignity and humanity in the face of injustice. The cause of the prisoners transcends borders, geographies, walls and parallel time. It is a revolution confronting injustice in which our prisoners unite with all of the revolutionary prisoners around the world in the dungeons of oppression and persecution, especially Comrade Georges Abdallah and many other sons and daughters of the revolution.

Until we meet one day on the land of liberated Palestine...
