PWWSD organizes Solidarity Sit-in with Palestinian Prisoners

The Palestinian Working Women’s Society for Development organized a sit-in in the Solidarity Tent on Monday in solidarity with the Palestinian hunger strikers in Israeli prisons. Tens of working women and volunteers joined the sit-in, which took place at the Clock Square in Ramallah.

Amal Khreishe, the general director of the PWWSD stated: “we came here to express our solidarity with all the Palestinian prisoners inside the Israeli prisons, to protest against the unjust practices of the Israeli Prisons Service against the Palestinian prisoners.” Khreishe added that on behalf of the staff of the Palestinian Working Women’s Society for Development we salute the prisoners, who with their resilience are redefining the meanings of patriotism, dignity and freedom.”

Khreishe called to utilize the solidarity campaigns in order to expose brutal treatment of the Israeli occupation, and reveal the atrocities that take place inside the prisons against Palestinians. She also called upon international organizations to fulfill their responsibilities towards Palestinian prisoners who are facing the most horrifying forms of torture.
