Statement: Germany announces ban on Samidoun Network — we remain steadfast!

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is outraged at the statement of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in the Bundestag on 12 October 2023 where he declared his intention to ban Samidoun Network as an organization in Germany, which was supported by the ministry of interior shortly after.

As we write this message, Palestinians in Gaza are facing an overtly genocidal war carried out by the Israeli occupation regime. They have already bombed universities, schools, hospitals, mosques, residential towers, public markets and densely populated refugee camps. They have exterminated entire neighbourhoods with their warplanes and bombs, provided to them by the United States. 

As Israeli officials declare their intention to bomb and destroy Gaza, as they cut off accsss to water, food and electricity, as the health system collapses and patients die because they cannot receive the treatment they need from medical professionals, as ambulances are targeted, the Western media and the German press in particular has instead engaged in a racist smear campaign targeting Palestinian and Arab youth in Germany and the Samidoun Network in particular. 

The German state and all imperialist powers, following the lead of U.S. President Biden, are partners not only in the defamation and dehumanization of the Palestinian people but the murderous war crimes and crimes against humanity of the occupation regime.

In the streets of Berlin, police have beaten and detained numerous people, including Palestinians, Arabs, Germans and internationalists, for wearing a kuffiyeh or saying “Free Palestine.” For months and indeed years before October 7, they have banned demonstrations in support of Palestine. The immigration authorities are using their powers to strip the rights of Palestinian refugees who have already been exiled, who are denied their right to return home. 

If the German Chancellor and his government support the genocidal war on Gaza being carried out as we speak, it can be no surprise that they also seek to criminalize the ability of Palestinians and people of conscience to act against that war, to speak out, to organize, and to express support for the Palestinian people’s drive and struggle for freedom, justice and liberation. 

We are committed to challenging this proposed future ban by all legal means available to us. Today, the notorious fascist Itamar Ben Gvir announced that he was cutting water and electricity to the Palestinian prisoners in the Naqab prison and implementing his program of repression against all Palestinian prisoners. It is in this context that we view Scholz’ declaration and his incitement against the Palestinian people. 

Every imperialist power in the world is lining up to cheer for, fund and arm the destruction of the Palestinian people. Palestinians, Arabs and international people of conscience will not be complicit in this destruction. We are not afraid to speak out, act and organize to stop the genocide and to instead seek freedom. We will not be silent in the face of injustice, and we will not leave the Palestinians in Gaza, on the front lines of resistance, and in the prisons alone to confront the fires of murderous war. 

The Palestinian resistance are the true representatives of the Palestinian people, the only shield to defend the people and their land in the face of the war crimes of the occupation regime, the complicity of the Arab reactionary states and the full-scale involvement of the Western imperialist powers, including Germany, in the targeting and destruction of Palestinian life and existence. The Palestinian people’s will to live in freedom, to resist their occupier, and to obtain their rights will not be killed by murderous bombing raids or German political repression. 

Right now, a group of refugee youth in Germany are being targeted by the full weight of the machinery of state repression. This only reinforces our commitment to addressing the role of the Palestinian diaspora in the liberation of Palestine, and our commitment to the project of the Masar Badil: that the Palestinian people in exile and diaspora, when we organize ourselves, together with our Arab and internationalist comrades, can change the world. What is happening in Germany today is proof that we are walking down the right path, the path of justice. 

Despite the bombing, the torture, the massive colonial violence, the Palestinian people in Gaza, in the West Bank, in Jerusalem, in occupied Palestine 48, in the refugee camps, and everywhere in exile and diaspora, continue to dream and act for a better future, a liberated future for Palestine, from the river to the sea. In Arabic, the word “Samidoun,” means those who are steadfast. We use this name to refer to the Palestinian prisoners, who remain behind bars, struggling for freedom. Today we affirm that we shall remain steadfast and committed to the Palestinian people, until victory, return and liberation.

Palestinian Prisoners’ Statement on Gaza and the Palestinian Resistance

A press statement issued by the Higher National Committee of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Movement in light of the comprehensive aggression against our great Palestinian people, and the massacres facing our proud Gaza.

To the masses of our heroic people… our heroic prisoners inside the prisons…

Greetings of the homeland

The Zionist enemy and its spiteful prison administration have taken punitive and retaliatory measures against the prisoners inside the prisons, after the launch of the military operation Al-Aqsa Flood by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza against the Zionist entity.

Accordingly, we affirm the following:

First: We affirm our confidence in our great Palestinian people, and their ability to continue and withstand the enemy, and to cross this new momentous occasion in the history of our people with all strength and will.

Second: We affirm our high confidence in the Palestinian resistance, which will remain an impenetrable barrier in the face of the enemy.

Third: The prisoners will not accept that their case will be used be a card to pressure their people and their resistance.

Fourth: The Higher National Committee calls on all their brothers and comrades held captive in the prisons to exercise self-restraint, to be wise in the face of the retaliatory measures implemented by the prison administration, and to exercise patience and steadfastness, which, as it has always been, will be our path to inevitable freedom, God willing.

Mercy for the martyrs… healing for the wounded… and freedom for the prisoners

The Higher National Committee of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Movement

Calendar of Resistance for Palestine! Events and actions around the world

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network urges all Palestinian, Arab and international supporters of Palestine to escalate their organizing and struggle to stand with the heroic Palestinian resistance and confront colonial Zionist violence and imperialist complicity. ( The list below will be constantly updated – please share the link with your friends and comrades! )

These events are organized by  many groups around the world — wherever possible, we link to the original organizers so that you can be in direct contact!  Please note: this list is for action-oriented/outdoor/protest actions specifically. However, direct actions like those by  Palestine Action are some of the most important events taking place — but they are typically not announced in advance! ANSWER Coalition is also maintaining a list of US based protests. Check out our  events listings  for the webinars, discussions and meetings we’re involved in! 

TO ADD YOUR EVENT TO THE CALENDAR: Email us at  samidoun@samidoun.net  or tag us on social media! We know that these events are mainly international and that the Arab people are marching everywhere for Palestine – we will be honored to add Arab events.

PLEASE NOTE:  Times and details may change. Wherever we have it, we have linked to the original organizers’ accounts, posters and pages. Please follow these for the latest information – and don’t hesitate to send us updates!

Palestine: The Resistance Rises toward Revolution, Return and Liberation

As the morning dawns on 7 October 2023, the resistance is rising throughout occupied Palestine, smashing the siege on Gaza with a comprehensive offensive confronting the occupier by land and air, taking control of Palestinian land, seizing occupation settlers and soldiers and launching thousands of missiles as Palestinian resistance forces fight to advance return and the liberation of Palestine.

The new resistance operation, titled the Al-Aqsa Flood by Mohammed Deif, commander in chief of the Izz el-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, comes on the 50th anniversary of the 1973 war in which Egypt reclaimed the occupied Sinai from Zionist occupation, and is set to alter the direction of the struggle in occupied Palestine, moving from resistance toward revolution and liberation.

The resistance operation comes in response to the ongoing stream of crimes against the Palestinian people, the daily murder of Palestinians on the streets of the West Bank of occupied Palestine, the siege on Gaza, the theft of land for settlements, the denial of refugees’ right to return, imposing exile for over 75 years, the torture and attacks on the Palestinian prisoners, the ongoing invasions of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the 75 years of Zionist occupation and over 100 years of imperialist domination and colonialism throughout occupied Palestine.

It also comes to bring about the liberation of Palestinian prisoners, as part and parcel of the Palestinian people and land. The occupation has repeatedly dragged its feet in conducting a prisoner exchange with the resistance, and now the resistance has announced that it has taken a significant number of prisoners from among the occupation soldiers and settlers in order to liberate the 5,250 Palestinian prisoners in occupation prions, including the 1350 jailed without charge or trial under administrative detention, 39 women and 170 children. The resistance is taking new steps to liberate Palestinian land, to confront the settlement project and to liberate the prisoners from a position of power.

News is developing rapidly; however it is clear that the Palestinian resistance is determined to reset the status quo in the region and uncover the reality that the Zionist regime can no longer rely on its technological strength and imperialist weaponry to impose its domination on the Palestinian people. In particular, coming as it does on the 50th anniversary of the 1973 war, it is a decisive rebuke to the entire path of Oslo and normalization imposed upon the Palestinian and Arab people for the past 50 years, indicating a new path forward with a clear goal: liberation, and nothing less. It builds upon the liberation of south Lebanon from occupation by the Lebanese resistance, led by Hezbollah, in 2000, and the defeat of the Zionist invasion of Lebanon in 2006, as well as the successive heroic battles waged by the Palestinian resistance throughout occupied Palestine and especially from its base area of resistance land in Gaza.

In his statement announcing the operation, Deif said: “Starting from today, security coordination ends. Today, the people reclaim their revolution, correct their path, and return to the march of return.” He called upon all to participate in the resistance, and specifically to all the forces of resistance in the region, in Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Yemen, and all of the Arab peoples from the Gulf to the ocean, to join in this battle, which is their battle for freedom, dignity and liberation, declaring, “it is time for the forces of Arab resistance to unite.”

Samidoun joins the Masar Badil, the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement, in calling “the masses of our Palestinian people, supporters of the resistance in exile and diaspora, allies from the liberation forces and movements, and solidarity committees with the Palestinian people everywhere, to express their support for the heroic Palestinian resistance, raise the flag of Palestine and the banners of resistance, and organize popular, political and media demonstrations and events to expose the Zionist crimes against our people in occupied Palestine….The heroic Palestinian resistance has opened a chapter of battles of dignity and pride at the dawn of October 7, 2023, and it is now responding to decades of continuous and repeated Zionist, American and European aggression against the masses of our Arab and Islamic nation from the ocean to the Gulf, and in the face of the wars of starvation and siege that the United States and its agents have engineered against our peoples in the region, especially in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iran.”

As the Palestinian resistance confronts occupation forces, it is critical that internationalists everywhere speak out, mobilize and act to confront the U.S.-led imperialist system, including the EU states, Britain and all complicit powers to end their ongoing crimes against the Palestinian people, and to defend the resistance. These crimes are reflected not only in the Balfour Declaration and the $3.8 billion in U.S. military aid to the occupation regime annually, but in the racist assaults on the Palestinian people in exile and diaspora throughout Europe, and especially in Germany, for speaking out and organizing to take up their role in the cause, for their return to Palestine and the liberation of their land.

Imperialism is the primary enemy of the Palestinian cause, creating the Zionist project and arming it to the teeth as a mechanism of attack against the Arab and Iranian peoples, alongside Zionism, the “Israeli” occupation regime and reactionary, complicit Arab forces.

Today, the resistance is making clear that despite the weaponry and brutality of the occupier, the promise of liberation is closer than ever before.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

Escalating struggle in the occupation prisons: Administrative detainees conduct solidarity strike with Kayed Fasfous as Ben Gvir raids Gilboa prison

The Palestinian prisoners’ movement is continuing to resist occupation attacks behid bars as Kayed Fasfous enters his 65th day on hunger strike. On Thursday, 5 October, the Israeli occupation’s Ofer military court yet again rejected Kayed Fasfous’ appeal against his administrative detention, imprisonment without charge or trial, even as his health has continued to deteriorate.

This came as thousands of Palestinian prisoners — including 1350 administrative detainees and 1280 prisoners of all factions in Ofer prison (including 410 administrative detainees) conducted a one-day hunger strike in solidarity with Fasfous, demanding his immediate release. Fasfous, 34, from Dura, previously won his freedom in a 131-day hunger strike in 2021. He is married and the father of a daughter, Jawan, and three of his brothers are also held under administrative detention without charge or trial.

The Palestine Center for Prisoners’ Studies issued a statement warning of the importance of highlighting Fasfous’ case, especially as the Zionist regime follows the strategy that it did with Sheikh Khader Adnan, who was martyred on 2 May after 86 days of hunger strike, denied access to a civilian hospital.

Fasfous is also being denied treatment at a civilian hospital while the occupation refuses to acknowledge his hunger strike; he was moved days ago to the notorious Ramle prison clinic, referred to as a slaughterhouse by the prisoners’ movement. He has lost 30 kilograms in weight, suffers from shortness of breath and severe pain throughout his body; he cannot stand without being supported. He refuses to take any kind of supplements in an escalation of his strike, the Center noted.

Since he began his hunger strike, Fasfous has been subjected to systematic mechanisms of coercion and repression amounting to torture, including being isolated in harsh conditions in Al-Naqab prison, repeatedly abused through searches of his cell, being deprived of a mattress for a long period of time. He was then transferred to isolation in Ashkelon prison and now to the infamous Ramle prison clinic, referred to as a slaughterhouse by Palestinian prisoners.

While Fasfous is appealing his administrative detention through the occupation courts, it is clear that the occupation courts are not a mechanism of justice but part and parcel of the system of colonial imprisonment. The military courts rubber stamp the orders of the Shin Bet, the Israeli intelligence agency, at the expense of Palestinians jailed by the occupation. Palestinian prisoners have been working for years to institute a comprehensive boycott of the occupation courts and expose the fig leaf of pseudo-legality being imposed on arbitrary mass imprisonment.

On Tuesday night, notorious far-right Zionist Minister of Public Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is waging a campaign of attacks against the prisoners, personally joined a raid on prisoners in Gilboa prison, attacking the prisoners there and ransacking their rooms. The raid included the use of sound bombs inside the prison, in sections 1 and 3 of the prison, with the closing o all sections. The prisoners were subjected to this in order to further promote Ben-Gvir’s image on the racist, Zionist political scene.

On Thursday, 5 October, the prisoners began closing their sections and engaging in protest steps against Ben-Gvir’s escalation policies and in solidarity with Fasfous, as they intensify their resistance in response to the ongoing attacks.

There are currently 5,250 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons, including 1350 jailed without charge or trial under administrative detention, 39 women and 170 children.

Administrative detention was first introduced to Palestine by the British colonial mandate and was adopted by the Zionist regime. Palestinians are routinely jailed for years at a time under repeatedly renewed detention orders issued for up to six months at a time. In the past year, the number of administrative detainees has more than doubled as part of the ongoing “war” on the prisoners’ movement.

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network urges all supporters of Palestine to take action to support Kayed Fasfous and all Palestinian prisoners struggling for freedom, for their own lives and for the Palestinian people. These sons of the Palestinian popular masses are confronting the system of Israeli oppression on the front lines behind bars, with their bodies and their lives, to bring the system of administrative detention to an end.

It is particularly important to stand with the strikers and not let their cases be silenced — earlier this year, on 2 May, Sheikh Khader Adnan’s life was taken after 86 days of hunger strike while being actively denied medical care. He had previously won his freedom four times through hunger strikes. These Palestinian prisoners are putting their bodies, health and lives on the line for liberation.

With over 1200 Palestinians jailed without charge or trial — over 20% of all Palestinian prisoners — the struggle to bring down administrative detention is more urgent than ever. Take these actions below to stand with the hunger strikers and the struggle for liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea!

Joint Statement: We Denounce UN Security Council’s Approval to Send a Kenya-led Mission to Haiti

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is one of many signatories to the statement below, issued by the Black Alliance for Peace:

WE DENOUNCE UN SECURITY COUNCIL’S

APPROVAL TO SEND A KENYA-LED MISSION TO HAITI

We, the undersigned, strongly condemn the decision by the United States and its allies to deploy a foreign military force to Haiti. We are adamant that a U.S./UN-led armed foreign intervention in Haiti is not only illegitimate, but illegal. And we support Haitian people and civil society organizations who have been consistent in their opposition to foreign armed military intervention – and who have argued that the problems of Haiti are a direct result of the persistent and long-term meddling of the United States, the United Nations, and the Core Group.

On Monday, October 2nd, 2023, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) voted on a resolution for a Multinational Security Support Mission authorizing the deployment of a foreign  military and police intervention into the Republic of Haiti. Although the vote did not receive unanimous approval as it saw abstentions from two permanent UNSC members, 13 other permanent and non-permanent members voted in support, including 3 African countries (Gabon, Ghana and Mozambique). This is a particularly egregious betrayal of Haiti, which has been for Africans and Black people around the world, a beacon in the fight against slavery, colonialism and imperialism. Yet the U.S. administration, the corporate media, alongside figures such as Linda Thomas-Greenfield, have hailed the vote as a victory. We note, also, that the U.S. has tapped Kenya, another African country, to lead a multinational force of “volunteer” nations to occupy Haiti, leaving their own troops at home while offering at leas t$100 million in support.

There is a long history here. For more than two years now, the U.S. has been pushing for a build-up of the military presence in Haiti to protect the puppet government of the unelected and unpopular Ariel Henry. Yet the U.S. is not willing to put its own boots on the ground, turning instead, first to Canada, then Brazil, then the CELAC and CARICOM countries–all of whom were reluctant to lead the mission, even if they supported the call for military intervention. The Kenyan government leapt at the opportunity to lead the intervention, bought off by a bag of silver and an approving pat on their neoliberal heads. Haiti will now be invaded by the U.S., but with the Black face of Kenya as cover. Kenya erroneously claims this is “Pan-Africanism;” it is, in fact, neocolonialism.

We are told that the interest of the U.S. in Haiti is humanitarian, that the U.S wants to protect the Haitian people from “criminal gangs.” Yet U.S. weapons have flooded Haiti, and the U.S. has consistently rejected calls to effectively enforce the UNSC resolution for an arms embargo against the Haitian and U.S. elite who import guns into the country. Moreover, when we speak of “gangs,” we must recognize that the most powerful gangs in the country are subsidiaries of the U.S. itself: the United Nations Integrated Office (BINUH) and the Core Group, the two colonial entities who have effectively ruled the country since the U.S./France/Canada-backed coup d’etat of 2004. Haiti has no sovereignty and has long been under foreign occupation. The current de facto “Prime Minister” was installed by the Core Group and whatever calls for military intervention are being made by those already occupying Haiti.

We hold in contempt the neocolonial governments that are taking part in this mission to further oppress Haitian people and deny them sovereignty. We denounce the governments of Kenya and the CARICOM nations, such as Bahamas, Jamaica, and Antigua and Barbuda, which have  failed Haiti and have violated the notion of the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace.

Furthermore, we demand that:

  1. The U.S. and the UN must end their interference in Haiti and the Core Group must be disbanded.

  2. The U.S. must stop its criminal gangster actions against Haiti and stop propping up the illegitimate government they installed.

  3. Kenya must end its support for a racist and imperialist intervention in Haiti

  4. The governments of the U.S. and the Dominican Republic stop dumping arms and ammunition into the country and for the de facto Prime Minister to stop arming paramilitaries in the country.

  5. The United Nations pay restitution for the devastating 2010 cholera outbreak by rebuilding Haiti’s water, sanitation, health, and educational infrastructure.

  6. That fuel subsidies for Haiti are reinstated and the minimum wage increased.

  7. The CARICOM countries, alongside other regional nations, normalize pathways for work visas and citizenship for Haitian nationals.

We vow to stand on the side of the Haitian people against imperialism!

DENUNCIAMOS LA APROBACIÓN POR EL CONSEJO DE SEGURIDAD DE LA ONU DEL ENVÍO DE UNA MISIÓN DIRIGIDA POR KENIA A HAITÍ

Nosotros, los firmantes, condenamos enérgicamente la decisión de Estados Unidos y sus aliados de desplegar una fuerza militar extranjera en Haití. Sostenemos firmemente que una intervención armada extranjera liderada por Estados Unidos y la ONU en Haití no sólo es ilegítima, sino también ilegal. Apoyamos al pueblo haitiano y a las organizaciones de la sociedad civil que han sido coherentes en su oposición a la intervención militar extranjera armada y que han argumentado que los problemas de Haití son resultado directo de la persistente e intervención a largo plazo de Estados Unidos, la ONU y el ‘Core Group’ (Grupo Principal).

El lunes 2 de octubre de 2023, el Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU votó sobre una resolución para una Misión de Apoyo de Seguridad Multinacional que autoriza el despliegue de una intervención militar y policial extranjera en la República de Haití. Aunque la votación no recibió la aprobación unánime, ya que se registraron abstenciones de dos miembros permanentes del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU, otros 13 miembros permanentes y no permanentes votaron a favor, incluyendo a 3 países africanos (Gabón, Ghana y Mozambique). Esto representa una traición especialmente grave hacia Haití, que ha sido un faro en la lucha contra la esclavitud, el colonialismo y el imperialismo para los africanos y las personas negras de todo el mundo. Sin embargo, la administración de Estados Unidos, los medios corporativos, junto con figuras como Linda Thomas-Greenfield, han celebrado la votación como una victoria. También observamos que Estados Unidos ha designado a Kenia, otro país africano, para liderar una fuerza multinacional de naciones “voluntarias” para ocupar Haití, dejando a sus propias tropas en casa y ofreciendo al menos $100 millones en apoyo.

Hay una larga historia aquí. Durante más de dos años, Estados Unidos ha estado presionando para aumentar la presencia militar en Haití para proteger al gobierno títere del impopular e ilegítimo Ariel Henry. Sin embargo, Estados Unidos no está dispuesto a poner sus propias botas en el terreno, recurriendo en su lugar primero a Canadá, luego a Brasil, y luego a los países de CELAC y CARICOM, todos los cuales se mostraron renuentes a liderar la misión, incluso si apoyaban la llamada a la intervención militar. El gobierno de Kenia se lanzó a la oportunidad de liderar la intervención, comprado con una bolsa de plata y una aprobación en sus cabezas neoliberales. Haití será invadido por Estados Unidos, pero con la cara negra de Kenia como fachada. Kenia afirma erróneamente que esto es “panafricanismo”; de hecho, es neocolonialismo.

Se nos dice que el interés de Estados Unidos en Haití es humanitario, que Estados Unidos quiere proteger al pueblo haitiano de las “bandas criminales”. Sin embargo, las armas estadounidenses han inundado Haití, y Estados Unidos ha rechazado constantemente las llamadas para hacer cumplir efectivamente la resolución del CSNU para un embargo de armas contra la élite haitiana y estadounidense que importa armas al país. Además, cuando hablamos de “bandas”, debemos reconocer que las bandas más poderosas en el país son subsidiarias de Estados Unidos mismo: la Oficina Integrada de las Naciones Unidas (BINUH) y el Core Group, las dos entidades coloniales que han gobernado efectivamente el país desde el golpe de Estado respaldado por Estados Unidos/Francia/Canadá de 2004. Haití no tiene soberanía y ha estado bajo ocupación extranjera durante mucho tiempo. El actual “Primer Ministro de facto” fue instalado por el Core Group, y cualquier llamado a la intervención militar proviene de aquellos que ya están ocupando Haití.

Despreciamos a los gobiernos neocoloniales que participan en esta misión para oprimir aún más al pueblo haitiano y negarles su soberanía. Denunciamos a los gobiernos de Kenia y las naciones del CARICOM, como Bahamas, Jamaica y Antigua y Barbuda, que han fallado a Haití y han violado el concepto del Caribe como una zona de paz.

Además, exigimos que:

  1. Estados Unidos y la ONU pongan fin a su interferencia en Haití y que se disuelva el ‘Core Group’.

  2. Estados Unidos debe poner fin a sus acciones criminales de gánster contra Haití y dejar de sostener al gobierno ilegítimo que instaló.

Musaab Abu Atta speaks to “Palestine Today” about political bans in Germany

 

Musaab Abu Atta, a leading member of Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network and the Masar Badil, the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement, spoke to “Palestine Today” TV today during their news update, speaking about the political repression he and his comrades are facing in Germany. The Berlin immigration office imposed a comprehensive political ban on him at the same time that German immigration authorities are seeking to strip the residency of Zaid Abdulnasser, coordinator of Samidoun Network in Germany. “This ban came specifically to target the activity of people who are active in the Palestinian community, chanting for resistance and organizing the Arab neighbourhoods, where the community is present in large numbers. Today, this kind of repression is taking place because they believe they can silence this voice with such attacks,” Abu Atta said.

“We are a people who have been resisting for over 100 years,” Abu Atta said. “Our identity was founded through resistance, and our work in supporting the prisoners’ movement is a simple matter compared to the sacrifices and commitment of our people at home, from the martyrs of Jenin, Nablus and Gaza, to the struggle that has been continuing for decades.” He explained that these various repressive measures, including threats to withdraw residency permits for Palestinian refugees in Berlin and bans on political participation, are intended to stop the work defending the prisoners and raising their images in the streets, as this is the primary activity of Samidoun’s work in Berlin.

“When the Israeli ambassador came to the Arab street [Sonnenallee, a busy street with Arab community businesses] in Berlin, he said it looked like the streets of Gaza. This is one of the arguments given for this ban, under the argument that this can disrupt the relations of the Zionist occupation with Germany, given that the institutions of the occupation regime are closely monitoring these activities in the streets of Berlin,” he said.

“We do not rely on Europe to defend our rights. We must organize ourselves in the streets of Berlin and Europe in order to reclaim our rights. These measures will not silence us as individuals or groups, as we are continuing on the path of the martyrs and prisoners, a path founded by our Palestinian people,” he affirmed.

#JusticeForMusaab: Palestinian organizer Musaab Abu Atta subjected to political ban in Germany

The repression against Palestinian voices in Germany is mounting. On Friday, 29 September, German police arrived at the home of Musaab Abu Atta, a Palestinian refugee from Syria, member of Samidoun Germany, member of the executive committee of the Masar Badil, the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement; artist and student, where they issued a political ban, prohibiting him from attending any political and social events and activities until 31 October 2023 or “until you leave the country.” Not only do the German immigration authorities ban Musaab from attending events with Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network and the Masar Badil, they explicitly forbid him from events being organized to #StandWithZaid and challenge anti-Palestinian repression in Germany.

The immediate aim of the ban was to forbid Musaab from attending the 30 September speak-out for Palestine and against German repression in Berlin, where 6 people were arrested for chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” By banning him from #StandWithZaid events — named for Zaid Abdulnasser, fellow Samidoun Germany organizer who is facing the stripping of his refugee status for his political activism for Palestine — the Berlin immigration authorities are making clear that they are specifically suppressing Palestinians’ freedom of speech, expression and association and denying them the ability to even speak about the repression they face. 

The German authorities state that Musaab is a Palestinian born in Syria, of “unclear” nationality — when it is, in reality, quite clear that he is a Palestinian refugee, denied, with his family, the right to return home to Palestine for the past 75 years. Musaab is 26 and he has, all his life, been denied his most fundamental rights due to the Zionist colonization of Palestine and its unmitigated backing by the Western imperialist powers, including and particularly Germany. Since he arrived in Germany in 2015, he has been subjected to state racism, criminalization, surveillance and stigmatization; the German authorities actually criminally prosecuted him for making posts on Facebook as a teenager in support of Palestinian resistance, mimicking similar prosecutions in occupied Palestine. Like other Palestinians, his status has been stripped from him and he lives under a “duldung” status, “toleration.” He cannot be deported, and at the same time is denied access to basic rights and fundamental needs — and is now being stripped of his fundamental civil and political rights. 

German-Palestinian lawyer Nadija Samour, speaking to 972mag, said: “Duldung is a very typical Palestinian story here in Germany,” Samour explained. “It basically means that he would be in an open air prison and wouldn’t be able to travel, and likely wouldn’t be able to work or study at a university.”

The German immigration authorities’ political ban on Musaab attempts to label his speaking out for Palestinian prisoners — including Ahmad Sa’adat and Georges Abdallah — as “supporting terrorism,” echoing Israeli defamation and propaganda being used to attack Samidoun and the Palestinian movement more broadly. They repeatedly note Musaab’s charisma and skill in leading chants and involving young people, especially Palestinians and Arabs, in the movement and in demonstrations — and indicate that this is precisely why they are targeting in the latest manifestation of state racism. We believe that this ban is specifically constructed to prevent Musaab from joining in the October 19-21 events in Toulouse and Lannemezan, especially the Lannemezan march to free Georges Abdallah on 21 October 2023. The 18-page document indicates that Musaab has been subjected to intense surveillance, documenting his presence at protests and meetings for Palestinian liberation in Madrid, Brussels and elsewhere, including the founding meeting of the Masar Badil movement.

The political ban was previously used in Germany against Palestinian writer Khaled Barakat, prior to his deportation, specifically to prevent him from speaking against then-U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Deal of the Century” and Arab normalization deals with Israel — and all other political events; and against torture survivor and former Palestinian prisoner Rasmea Odeh, subject to a political ban outside the door of an International Women’s Day event banned moments before by the Berlin police in 2019. 

In fact, the German immigration authorities attempt to use the fact that Musaab spoke up against the political ban on Khaled Barakat as a justification for subjecting him to the same outrageous treatment. The latest attack on Musaab is part of a series of repressive assaults targeting the Palestinian community in Berlin — the largest Palestinian community in Europe — and all of Germany, as well as the Palestine solidarity movement. It is a specific attack targeting Palestinian refugees in order to intimidate, criminalize and prevent them from speaking out for their right to return to Palestine and get engaged in the Palestinian liberation movement in exile and diaspora. 

In the past two years, Berlin officials have banned demonstrations commemorating the Nakba and Palestinian Prisoners’ Day. The one Nakba memorial event that was not initially banned, organized by Jewish solidarity organizers, was attacked by police after the organizers refused to exclude Palestinian activists from their demonstration or bar people from chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” Jewish, Palestinian and solidarity activists were violently arrested by Berlin police. The scene repeated itself on Saturday, 30 September, when 200 police surrounded a demonstration in solidarity with Palestinian prisoner on hunger strike, Kayed Fasfous, and against anti-Palestinian repression in Germany, arresting six people for saying “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!”

The attack on Musaab Abu Atta is an attack on him as a Palestinian refugee, youth organizer and artist; it is also an attack on Samidoun and on the Masar Badil. More broadly, however, it reflects a general attack against the Palestinian prisoners’ movement and the Palestinian people as a whole, specifically Palestinian refugee youth organizing their community to speak out for justice and take action for Palestinian liberation. Instead, Germany is lining up alongside the Israeli regime to label Palestinian identity, expression and organizing as criminal and terrorist. 

We also note that this political ban on Musaab comes shortly after Zionist ambassador Ron Prosor denounced the posters on the streets of the Neukolln neighbourhood in Berlin, stating that it “looks like Gaza,” calling for Samidoun to be banned. Musaab is the artist and designer of many of these posters, and a political ban against him seems precisely targeted to silence his images as well as his words, as demanded by the Israeli ambassador’s racist calls.

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network calls for #JusticeForMusaab and the broadest support for Musaab Abu Atta, Zaid Abdulnasser, and all Palestinians and Palestine activists targeted for repression in Germany and around the world. Musaab’s organizing reflects the role of Palestinians in diaspora claiming their role in the liberation movement – and that role is now under sustained attack by the Zionist regime, the German state and other imperialist powers. Now is the time to speak out against these political bans – and for the liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea!
