To mark International Women's Day, Inminds human rights group will on Friday 10th March 2017 hold a vigil on the Southbank of the river Thames in London to highlight the plight of Palestinian women prisoners in Israeli occupation jails, and to demand their freedom.
Inminds chair Abbas Ali said "Today there are 65 Palestinian women political prisoners, including 12 young girls and 16 mothers suffering in rat infested HP powered Israeli dungeons where torture is routine and the basics of human life like food, clothing, blankets and basic medical care are scarce. 11 of the women are in dire need of medical attention, several having been thrown in prison with bullet wounds after having been shot multiple times. Some are held without charge or trial under Israel's illegal administrative detention. All the women are held across the border in Israel in contravention of article four of the Geneva conventions, making it near impossible for their families and children to visit them. We are here to show our solidarity; and to share their stories of courage and resilience under the harshest of conditions; and to demand their unconditional freedom. We are also here to demand that the American multi-national company HP / HPE stop its complicity in these crimes. Their profiting from the torture and caging of women and young girls is repugnant and unacceptable."
Inminds chair Abbas Ali added "Palestine's longest serving woman prisoner Lena Jarboni, having been tortured, has been mercilessly caged for 15 years despite suffering many medical conditions. When other prisoners were released under the prison exchange agreement, the Israeli government specifically denied Lena her freedom. We are especially here today to demand her freedom."
Please join us on Friday 10th March 2017 on the Southbank of the river Thames under Hungerford Bridge near the Southbank Centre.

JazakAllah,

Featured MP3 Podcast "[Deportation at the airport] We saw the injured [Turkish] men going through.. a lot had a leg cut out of their trousers or an arm cut out of their top. It had been cut out to treat their wounds.. they were covered in blood, blood that had been there for three days, and some of them had wounds that were still bleeding.. What upset me most was seeing the dozen men, one after another, hobbling across the terminal, with a bandaged foot. I couldn't ask them why so many of them had a bandaged foot, I couldn't ask them what had happened, because if they spoke or if any of us spoke to them the Israelis beat the injured person.. We later found out that they had these injuries on the tops of their feet from when the troops came down from the helicopter on the Mavi Marmara, and they came down firing - they had been shot from above. Some of the men that were killed were shot at close range - head and chest, but a dozen of the men who were shot, among 59 people who were shot, they were shot at the tops of their feet - the bullets were coming down.. They weren't given a wheelchair or a pair of crutches, and if any of the other passengers stood up and tried to offer [help].. that person was dragged away and smacked by these Israelis. The Israeli soldiers sat on the floor, laughed and sniggered and made every one of these Turkish men hobble and hop all the way across, some 200 metres, everyone of them, one by one, made to do that purely for the sick amusement of the Israeli soldiers."
