The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine salutes all Palestinian prisoners, carrying out a mass hunger strike on Saturday, September 25, 2010 in the jails of the Israeli occupation. The prisoners are demanding an end to increasingly repressive and restrictive conditions in the prisons.




Palestinian political prisoners, numbering approximately 7,000, from all factions and political tendencies, have come together in a united hunger strike. Families and children of prisoners have issued statements, calling upon the Palestinian people - and all progressive international organizations and movements to support the prisoners' struggle.



The PFLP salutes these prisoners and their courageous struggle as part of the long and proud history of the Palestinian prisoners' movement, a legacy of resistane and unity. We demand the immediate freedom of all Palestinian prisoners, at the forefront national leader Comrade Ahmad Sa'adat, the General Secretary of the PFLP, and other Palestinian national leaders.



October will mark a hearing on Comrade Sa'adat's isolation, and international efforts, as well as efforts across Palestine, are being prepared to support his campaign and the rights of all Palestinian prisoners.
