On 2 October 2021, members of the Ghassan Kanafani Brigade to Lebanon, organized by Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, spoke in an online reportback addressing the current crisis in Lebanon and the ongoing struggle of Palestinian refugees for justice, liberation and return. Delegation co-chairs Mohammed Khatib and Jaldia Abubakra and members Thomas Hofland, Aya and Jacob spoke about their experiences and insights.
In the summer of 2021, Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network launched the Ghassan Kanafani Brigade to Lebanon and the Palestinian refugee camps. The brigade, announced on the 49th anniversary of the assassination of Palestinian writer, leader and revolutionary Ghassan Kanafani, included activists and organizers based in Belgium, Spain, France, Sweden, the Netherlands, and elsewhere.
