The action was organized by Students for Justice in Palestine at American University, a student group that works to build solidarity for Palestinian rights, and called for freedom for hunger strikers Samer al-Barq, Hassan Safadi and Ayman Sharawna. The students also encouraged supporters to write to Israeli officials urging their release.
