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,
Abbas Ali

Featured MP3 Podcast "Its important to choose a strategy that doesn't end up diverting attention from the issue.. the other side wants nothing more than to divert attention from what the record shows, what the human rights record shows, what the UN record and so forth - they don't want to talk about that because once they start talking about that they loose. They'd rather talk about anti-Semitism, the Nazi holocaust - anything accept Israel and Palestine. With that in mind you have to be careful that you don't embark on a tactic which is going to end up diverting people from Israel-Palestine.. You don't' want to choose grey areas, you always want to choose black and white areas where there is no room for discussion, where there is no room for debate. This is black and white: World Court decision [wall and settlements illegal] 14 to 1. Human rights issues - Amnesty says Israel tortures, Human Rights Watch says Israel tortures, B'Tselem says Israel tortures, everyone says it - its black and white. And the other side has to end up with some ridiculous proposition as Professor Dershowitz put it 'they're all lying'."
