As part of the events convened for Palestinian Prisoners’ Day 2026 in the besieged Gaza Strip, occupied Palestine, a volleyball tournament was organized under the auspices of Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network and liberated prisoners in Gaza.
The event, organized on Friday, 17 April 2026, highlighted the struggle to free all over 9,600 Palestinian prisoners in Zionist jails — including the over 1,200 Palestinians from Gaza held captive there — and to defeat the so-called “Prisoners’ Execution Law,” while supporting Gaza’s young athletes, whose sports facilities, teams and even fields of play have been subjected to the U.S./European-sponsored Zionist genocide.
Various teams participated in the volleyball competition, which was widely attended by local people, children and families, representatives of tribes and political organizations, as well as freed prisoners, who distributed medals and a winning cup to the team that prevailed in the tournament.
The event is part of a series of sporting events and tournaments being organized by Samidoun in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, supporting the sports activities of Palestinian youth, engaging with the Palestinian prisoners’ struggle, and working together with liberated prisoners to support life and steadfastness amid ongoing genocide.
