PWWSD participates in Solidarity Protest with the Palestinian Detainees

The Palestinian Working Woman Society for Development participated in a protest called for by the Independent Youth Mobilization, in solidarity with the Palestinian detainees in the Israeli jails, at the headquarters of the Red Cross in Al-bireh.  The Palestinian prisoners have started an open hunger strike to protest against treatment of the Israeli prison services.

Amal Khreishe emphasized on the important popular support for the detainees’ cause, to advocate for their rights on the local, regional and international levels.

The participants, who carried pictures of the prisoners, demanded a decent life for the prisoners, a full protection of their rights and the immediate stop to the violation of their dignity, their parents’ dignity, and to all the policies aiming for their slow death.

Various feminist activists, PLO executive member and the Minister of Detainee Affairs, PLC members and young activists from the Independent Youth Mobilization participated in the event.
