PALESTINE solidarity activists appealed to supporters today to keep up their boycott of Israeli goods during Ramadan, urging them not to break their daily fast with dates exported by the apartheid regime.
The Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network wished a happy Ramadan to all prisoners marking the Muslim holy month inside Israeli jails and said that it hoped for the future liberation of Palestine.
Last year was the worst on record, with some 4,400 Palestinians incarcerated by Israel, including 41 women, 160 children and 700 prisoners with health issues, according to the Palestinian Authority’s prisoner affairs commission.
“Thousands of Palestinian prisoners are marking Ramadan inside Israeli prisons, deprived of their families and loved ones, while their communities and loved ones are kept from these strugglers for freedom by the iron bars and prison walls of the occupation,” Samidoun said in a statement.
