PWWSD applauds Prisoners Swap and appeals Human Rights Organizations to protect the Prisoners

The Palestinian Working Woman Society for Development welcomes the prisoners’ swap between Israel and Hamas, which will include 1027 prisoners, among which 36 female prisoners will be released.

The organization accentuated the prisoners’ issue as a unifying demand for all Palestinian political parties, which have participated in the solidarity campaign and fully embraced this national cause. It sees this swap as a cornerstone in the Palestinian political agenda, demanding the political parties to work until the freedom of all prisoners, and the ending of their suffering. PWWSD acknowledges the Turkish-Egyptian-German role in completing the swap deal, at the same time calls upon international human rights organizations, the UN, the Arab League and the OIC to interfere to protect the remaining Israeli prisoners in the Israeli prison, and to stop the continuous violations of their rights, which have led to the hunger strike that was launched two weeks ago.

The PWWSD calls for more mass and feminist action to support the prisoners’ just cause.
