Dozens of activists and supporters of Palestine demonstrated at the Piazza di Montecitorio in Rome, Italy on 3 October in solidarity with Palestinian political prisoners, demanding their freedom. Organized by the Arab Palestinian Democratic Union (UDAP), the protest was addressed by Dalya Abu Aker, activist and the daughter of Nidal Abu Aker, imprisoned Palestinian jouranlist held without charge or trial, who recently ended a 40-day hunger strike against administrative detention.
Protesters demanded freedom for all Palestinian prisoners, carrying Palestinian flags and posters of imprisoned Palestinian leaders, including Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Secretary Ahmad Sa’adat and imprisoned Palestinian leftist parliamentarian Khalida Jarrar.
