PFLP: Palestinian Prisoner's Day Open Battle Between Freedom, Zionist Genocide

On the occasion of Palestinian Prisoner's Day, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) affirmed that this year's commemoration comes amidst an unprecedented escalation in the policies of repression and arrest to which prisoners are subjected within Israeli prisons.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), in a statement seen by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA) on Friday, said that Palestinian Prisoners' Day is an open battle between freedom and the system of genocide, in which the will of the Palestinian people is embodied in the arenas of heroism and confrontation with the Zionist genocidal system.

The PFLP added that the fascist onslaught is intensifying with the passage of the so-called "Law on Executing Prisoners," which represents a dangerous shift towards legitimizing systematic killing and turning prisons into execution grounds under a criminal and racist legal guise.

The statement continued that the Palestinian prisoners' movement represents a steadfast vanguard of struggle that has transformed prison cells into spaces of resistance and schools of revolutionary consciousness, noting that the prisoners, including a number of leaders, embody the unity of the Palestinian national struggle.

The statement paid tribute to the martyrs of the prisoners' movement and to the heroic prisoners, foremost among them the Secretary-General, Comrade Leader Ahmad Sa'adat, and the iconic leaders: Marwan Barghouti, Hassan Salameh, Bassam al-Sa'di, Wajdi Joudeh, and Ahed Abu Gholmeh, as well as all the female and male prisoners who embody the unity of the national struggle. It affirmed that "their sacrifices are a continuous pledge in the conscience of our people until they achieve their complete and undiminished freedom."

The statement explained that this anniversary coincides with an unprecedented escalation in policies of repression and extermination, as prisoners are subjected to a systematic campaign led by the fascist war criminal Ben-Gvir. This campaign targets their physical and psychological well-being through torture, solitary confinement, medical neglect, administrative detention, and even the policy of starvation, depriving children, women, and the elderly of the most basic necessities of life.

The statement added, "Prisons have become modern-day models of extermination camps, as is happening in the Sde Teiman detention center to prisoners from Gaza, where the most heinous forms of torture and physical liquidation are practiced amidst a shameful international silence. This situation represents a blatant expression of the fascist and racist nature of the entity and a glaring revelation of the international system's inability to enforce even the minimum standards of justice and humanity."

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine affirmed that the prisoners' cause is a national liberation issue at the forefront of its priorities, stressing the need to redefine their international status as "freedom fighters," while renewing its absolute confidence in the resistance's ability to devise ways to secure their freedom.

It also emphasized that true loyalty to the prisoners lies in building a comprehensive national strategy and restoring national unity as a fundamental guarantee for preserving their cause and providing them with political, legal, and media protection, thus preventing any attempt to isolate them or marginalize their sacrifices. The Front demanded the immediate internationalization of the prisoners' issue and their recognition as "prisoners of war," the launch of an international campaign to overturn the "law to execute prisoners" as a war crime, and the prosecution of those responsible for systematic killings and racist legislation before international courts.

The Front called for an escalation of popular and global struggle to break the silence and build an international solidarity front that effectively boycotts the enemy. It also paid tribute to the prisoners of conscience who were arrested for supporting our just cause, especially the prisoners' cause, holding the international community and the Red Cross fully responsible for the lives of the prisoners.

The Front demanded the dispatch of independent international commissions of inquiry to uncover the fate of the prisoners, especially those from Gaza, and to put a definitive end to the policy of impunity.

STATEMENT OF CONDOLENCE FOR DR MAHA ABU KHALIL

Statement of Condolence for a Comrade and Historical Figure The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine mourns the passing of Comrade, the historical figure and academic, Dr. Maha Abu Khalil The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, on behalf of its Secretary-General, Deputy Secretary-General, members of the Political Bureau and Central Committee, and all members and supporters of the Front in Palestine and the diaspora, mourns the passing of Comrade, the historical figure, academic, and social figure, Dr. Maha Abu Khalil, from the town of Qalila in the Tyre district.

She was killed in the treacherous Zionist aggression against the city of Tyre on the evening of April 17, 2026, just minutes before the ceasefire was announced, after four residential buildings were targeted and leveled. She was among those missing under the rubble. The martyr Maha Abu Khalil exemplified the ideal of a woman activist who combined intellectual commitment with social and educational work.

She earned a doctorate in media studies and studied at universities in Prague in the late 1970s, an academic and intellectual experience that reflected her profound knowledge and open-mindedness. She also lived alongside her husband, who served as Iraq's ambassador to Prague. Comrade Abu Khalil became involved early on in the struggle for the Palestinian cause, participating in the Popular Front's activities abroad during the historical period of 1970. She took part in the "Athens" commando operation, aimed at liberating Palestinian and Arab prisoners held in Israeli prisons, which at the time formed a central part of the Palestinian revolutionary program.

She remained deeply committed to this cause through her participation in various forms of political, humanitarian, and media support for Palestine, which she viewed as a national and humanitarian struggle against the Zionist occupation. The martyr worked for many years in social institutions, where she played a fundamental role in public relations, social work, and education.

She contributed to guiding many teachers and instilling a humanitarian approach in dealing with people, leaving a profound impact on everyone who knew her. She was also known for her closeness to the poor and the families of martyrs, her genuine sharing in their joys and sorrows, and her constant presence in southern Lebanon. She remained steadfast in the city of Tyre during the repeated Israeli wars, refusing to leave her land despite the bombardment and aggression.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, as it bids farewell to its comrade, the fighter and the humanitarian, affirms that her martyrdom represents a loss to a genuine struggle—a struggle rooted in feminism, patriotism, and humanitarianism—in which she embodied pride and honor in the values ​​of resilience, loyalty, and commitment to justice. She remained true to her convictions until the very last moment of her life.

The Front extends its deepest condolences to her family, comrades, friends, and loved ones, renewing its pledge to continue the path of struggle and resistance, and praying that God grants her family patience and solace. Maha Abu Khalil will remain present in the national memory and in the record of women fighters who gave their lives for freedom, justice, and human dignity.

Glory and eternity to the martyrs... The resistance continues... Victory is inevitable. Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) April 18, 2026

The cessation of aggression against Lebanon is the result of the steadfastness of the Lebanese people and their valiant resistance

The Front affirmed that forcing the Zionist occupation to halt its aggression is the fruit of the steadfastness of the people of Lebanon and the immense sacrifices made by the valiant resistance, which fought a legitimate defense of Lebanese land, people, and rights.

The Front extended its greetings to the people of Lebanon, who have suffered from the crimes of the Zionist war machine in a premeditated and planned aggression, affirming its full solidarity with the brotherly people of Lebanon, and with the families of the martyrs, the wounded, and the displaced.

The Front considered this brutal aggression as an extension of the war of extermination, and one of the ongoing series of aggressions by this criminal entity against the peoples and countries of the Arab world and the region.

The Front called for the complete withdrawal of the Zionist entity from every inch of occupied Lebanese land, and warned of the ongoing aggression plans that continue to target Lebanon and its people by all means, aiming to undermine its structure, tear apart its unity, and end its historical role and stance against this occupier.
