Join CAPJPO-EuroPalestine for one of a series of protests across France to demand the freedom of Ahed Tamimi, the 16-year-old Palestinian girl imprisoned by the Israeli occupation, along with her mother Nariman and 6,200 Palestinian prisoners, including 300 children.
The Israeli occupation army has declared the Ramallah-area Palestinian village of Nabi Saleh to be a closed military zone in an attempt to suppress a planned demonstration in support of Jerusalem against Israeli ethnic cleansing and U.S. President Donald Trump’s declaration of recognizing it as the capital of Israel.
The mass march was attacked by Israeli occupation forces who fired large amounts of tear gas on the marchers, many of whom suffered as a result of inhaling tear gas. They also attacked the demonstration with rubber-coated metal bullets after surrounding the village and blocking the roads and entrances. Journalists seeking to attend the march were prevented from passing through the checkpoint and denied entry to Nabi Saleh.
This latest attack on Nabi Saleh, the village that has been at the center of an indigenous Palestinian land defense struggle after its land and spring were stolen by the illegal settlement of Halamish, comes in addition to repeated raids and arrests, particularly those targeting Ahed Tamimi and her family, one of the largest and most active families in the village.
The order comes shortly following the decision of far-right, racist Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s collective punishment order against the Tamimi family. Bassem Tamimi, the father of Ahed and the husband of Nariman, Ahed’s mother, who is also imprisoned, was banned from traveling outside Palestine. Bassem was previously imprisoned for several years for his involvement in protests and was recognized as a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International.
The Tamimi family have traveled to South Africa, Lebanon, Europe and elsewhere to speak about the situation in Nabi Saleh and the Palestinian people’s struggle for liberation. This comes as a clear attempt to cut off the Tamimi family from international support.
However, that international support has only continued to grow. In addition to protests in Sydney, Berlin, Athens, Rome, Porto, Lisbon, Dublin, New York, Brussels, Portland, Braga, Toulouse and elsewhere to demand freedom for Ahed Tamimi and her fellow Palestinian prisoners, French trade unionists also showed their support for Ahed. CGT railway workers at a conference in Versailles responded to the World Federation of Trade Unions’ call for solidarity:
Ahed is one of over 300 Palestinian children currently jailed by the Israeli occupation. Each year, approximately 700 Palestinian kids are brought before Israeli military courts and are frequently subject to beating, solitary confinement, physical and psychological abuse and other forms of cruel and inhumane treatment.
In addition, Lieberman withdrew the Israeli work permits of 20 Tamimi family members in an apparent attempt to impoverish the family into submission. Six Tamimi family members, including Mohammed Bilal Tamimi, the son of Manal Tamimi, earlier arrested and released, were also seized by occupation forces on Thursday in pre-dawn raids.
Justifying the collective punishment, Lieberman declared that “Dealing with Tamimi and her family has to be severe, exhaust all legal measures and generate deterrence” of involvement in popular Palestinian resistance.

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network denounces the arrest of Ahed Tamimi and Nariman Tamimi, the latest of well over 500 Palestinians arrested by Israeli occupation forces following U.S. President Donald Trump’s declaration of recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Approximately half of those detained, like Ahed, Abdul-Khalik Burnat and Fawzi al-Junaidi, are children. There are hundreds of Palestinian children jailed by Israel and frequently subject to beatings, abuse, and interrogations without parents or lawyers present in violation of the law. We urge people of conscience around the world to take action to demand freedom for Ahed and her fellow detained and jailed Palestinian children in occupation detention centers, interrogation centers and prisons – and for Nariman Tamimi and all detained and imprisoned Palestinians.
The resistance of the Palestinian people has never been quelled by arrests or repression, and it must be clear that we, around the world, stand alongside the Palestinian people as they defend Jerusalem and their entire land and people under attack. This includes standing with detained and jailed Palestinian prisoners in their struggle for liberation for themselves, their people, and their occupied homeland.
TAKE ACTION:
Palestinian prisoner Israa Jaabis came before the Israeli occupation’s High Court of Justice on Thursday, 11 January in an appeal against her 11-year sentence, noting her severe injuries and poor overall health, with her suffering only intensified due to the conditions in HaSharon prison, where she is held. Her lawyers have argued that she was subjected to a lengthy, arbitrary sentence with little concern for the reality of the charges against her or her intense pain and suffering.
Jaabis’ case has come to renewed attention on social media as well in the last week, with many activists highlighting #FreeIsraa, #انقذوا_اسراء and #HelpIsraa hashtags in support of her appeal and campaign for her liberation. The court heard arguments from the defense and prosecution and did not set a date for issuing a decision.
The story of Israa Jaabis is a human tragedy brought about due to occupation, racism, oppression and injustice. Jaabis, the mother of a 9-year-old child, was seized in October 2015 near the al-Zaim checkpoint at the entrance to Jerusalem. Jaabis holds a Jerusalemite identity card, but lived in the West Bank with her family and her son, who has a West Bank identity card. Reportedly, she was informed that she would lose her Jerusalem identity unless she moved back to Jerusalem – part of the ongoing and systematic Israeli attempt to erase Palestinian existence in Jerusalem – and was being forced to live apart from her child.
She had rented an apartment in Jabal al-Mukabber and was in the process of moving her basic belongings to the apartment, including a gas cylinder to power a stove. As she approached the checkpoint, the gas cylinder caught fire after an airbag popped open inside of her vehicle, burning Jaabis severely over 60 percent of her body while the situation was treated as a “terror attack” rather than a medical emergency by the occupation forces on the scene.
Rather than summoning an ambulance, security forces and police were brought to the scene. Despite initial reports that this was a traffic accident, Israeli media then reported that this was an operation targeting Israeli soldiers. She was imprisoned while hospitalized and charged with “attempted murder” of the Israeli occupation forces at the checkpoint as eight of her fingers were amputated. Israeli prosecutors alleged that social media posts expressing support of the Palestinian resistance and other political opinions merited this extreme sentence. Her story combines the terror of colonial imprisonment with the ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem and the constant violence against Palestinian families, particularly women and children, of Israeli colonialism.
Jaabis issued a message from prison through her sister Mona, translated below, saying that she urgently needs more than eight operations and that she suffers from intense pain and suffering in her hands and feet, especially after the amputation of her fingers, and that she is unable to care for herself properly.
Israa’s message follows:
“As for my health, it is as follows: I have severe cramps in my hands and feet and these prevent me from doing my daily tasks. I need help from other girls to do the simplest things. This hurts me and makes me feel less than others. I feel humiliated and ashamed. And I urgently need to have the operation to relieve these cramps and seizures so that I can do my own daily simple tasks. Since I was arrested, the administration here has always procrastinated. They say that the operation will happen each month, but nothing happens and my situation worsens every day.”
“Every day I look in the mirror and I feel silent and my soul is shattered every day. I need treatment to face this painful reality. I am scared from my face when I look at myself in the mirror. How about others? What does my child say when he sees me? Do you feel scared of me? Thousands of questions pass through my head every day and I cannot find an answer. I feel scared, humiliated and anxious. I try to help myself, but to no avail.”
“I need treatment, I need surgery so that I can live with this difficult situation…..I must live with these near-fatal injuries and I could live if operations were conducted with humane treatment. Now I cannot even wear a brace which covers the burns because I have a hard time wearing it as it is torn and the prison administration will not help me.”
“I have bleeding in my eye and I feel great pain whenever it is exposed to the air or I wash my eyes with water. I urgently need eye treatment and again there is no answer. My nose was burned from the inside and so I must breathe from my mouth or a very small hole in my nose. My nose bleeds and I receive no treatment although my condition worsens every day.”
“My teeth are very weak, they have broken and I asked for outside treatment. After a long hassle, the management agreed to allow an outside dentist to enter, but he came only onceand no longer. I cannot raise my arms up, I have limited movement in my arms because the skin is fused to the armpit, and the management and doctors here are not trying to help me. My feet itch painfully, my right ear is almost non-existent and I oftern have severe infections. I urgently need an ear operation and everyone ignores the situation.”
“I am very tired of all of this inside, and my permanent need for everything causes me pain. I feel insulted, embarrassed and my situation worsens day after day. May times I shout and scream and erupt about my situation and I need psychological help as well. My psychological state has taken away my desire to eat. I almost do not eat and I do not want to eat. I have so much pressure in my head, and I do not understand what others talk about in front of me, and I lose focus.”
“The administration told me they would prevent me from visits from my son. I am told I have to receive blood tests, but they never happen. I hope everyone reads my message. I’m not a normal prisoner, who only suffers from prison. I suffer from much more than the injustice of the jailer, my condition is very difficult for those who are in their homes, let alone being in prison.”
On Friday, 12 January, Rizk Rajoub, on hunger strike for 22 days, was transferred to the Ramle prison clinic after the deterioration of his health. Rajoub launched his hunger strike on 25 December in protest of his administrative detention, imprisonment without charge or trial. He was offered the choice of indefinitely renewable imprisonment on the basis of secret evidence or deportation to Sudan.
Rajoub, 61, is from the town of Dura near al-Khalil. He has spent 23 years in Israeli prisons over separate arrests, with over half of that time held in administrative detention on multiple occasions. His family members report that he has not spent a full year outside Israeli prisons since 1996. He was seized again by occupation forces on 27 November 2017 in his home in Dura, and then ordered to administrative detention. The next hearing on his administrative detention will take place on 15 January.
Rajoub had said earlier that he will not accept deportation from Palestine for one day, but he just as clearly rejects his continued arbitrary imprisonment, vowing to continue his strike until the end of his administrative detention. Rajoub’s lawyer reported that he has been held in solitary confinement in Ofer prison since launching his strike and has only been allowed to shower once in that time. Rajoub was held prior to the transfer to the Ramle clinic in a small, dirty cell with surveillance cameras and old, smelly blankets with no changes of clothes. The temperature inside the cell is very cold with a high iron window that is always open. Rajoub’s cell is also raided three times daily by two jailers in an attempt to pressure him to end his strike.
Fellow prisoner Ibrahim al-Araj said that Rajoub has lost 15 kilograms (31 pounds) since launching the strike and that the prison administration provodes him with two salt tablets daily.
Ahmad Rajoub, Rizk’s son, said that his father’s health was in continual decline and that he is refusing to consume medications or undergo tests. He is refusing to consume vitamins or other supplements.
In addition, on 10 January, Ayoub Yacoub Mahmoud al-Asa, 33, from the town of al-Obeidiya near Bethlehem launched a hunger strike in rejection of the renewal of his administrative detention – imprisonment without charge or trial – for an additional six months. The prisoners of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Ofer prison said that he was transferred to isolation cells after launching his hunger strike. He has been imprisoned since 21 June 2017 without charge or trial, and has spent over five years in Israeli prison in the past.
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network expresses its strongest solidarity with Rizk Rajoub and Ayoub al-Asa and demands their immediate release and an end to the policy of administrative detention, a systematic violation of Palestinian rights by the Israeli settler colonial project.
Palestinian child prisoner Amal Qabaha, 17, from the village of Umm al-Rayhan southwest of Jenin, was released from Israeli occupation prisons on 11 January 2018, after completing her 1 1/2 year sentence in Israeli jails.
She was seized on 14 August 2016 at a checkpoint by occupation forces and accused of intending to stab a soldier, because she was accused having a knife in her possession. Her village of Umm al-Rayhan is isolated behind the separation wall, near the town of Yaabad.
Amal’s family said that she was seized and targeted because she verbally challenged a soldier at the checkpoint who was abusing and shouting at the Palestinian civilians lined up there, after which she was pulled out of the line, her hands bound and transferred to interrogation.
She had 12 hearings before the Salem Military Court and was jailed in HaSharon prison with women prisoners and her fellow imprisoned Palestinian girls.
Upon her release, Amal spoke with Asra Voice Radio, emphasizing the importance of the experience of the “flowers,” the minor girls held captive in Israeli jails. She said that the girls put together a magazine to increase cultural awareness to distribute to their fellow prisoners, emphasizing the suffering of women prisoners and educating them through the exchange of scientific and literary information.
Amal also said that with every prisoner liberated, the story of the flowers comes to light. She noted that Khalida Jarrar, the imprisoned Palestinian parliamentarian, leftist and feminist leader, works especially hard to teach and support the minor girls, taking care of them and following up on their lives as well as focusing on their education.
She emphasized the dire humanitarian situation of women prisoners, especially those who are suffering from a lack of medical treatment alongside serious repression, as well as the prisoners’ demand for appropriate medical treatment and their fundamental calls for Palestinian national unity and the freedom for all prisoners in occupation prisons.
Bilal Diab, former hunger striker and Palestinian political prisoner, was released on Saturday, 13 January from Israeli prisons after siz months in administrative detention, imprisonment without charge or trial. Diab, 32, from the village of Kafr Rai near Jenin, was seized by occupation forces on 14 July 2017 and ordered imprisoned without charge or trial.
He launched a hunger strike on 18 October 2017 for 23 days against his administrative detention; he suspended the strike on 9 November 2017 after an agreement for his release after the end of his current administrative detention order.
Diab has been repeatedly jailed, frequently without charge or trial under administrative detention; he previously engaged in a hunger strike for 77 days alongside fellow administrative detainee Thaer Halahleh in order to win their freedom on a previous occasion. h
After his release from Israeli prison, Diab told Asra Voice that the prisoners’ strongest weapon is their will in confronting the Zionist occupier, saying that the “sun of freedom will soon shine” for Palestine and for the prisoners.
The Samidoun Network in occupied Palestine organized an event at Bir Zeit University on 11 January 2018, on the 36th anniversary of the imprisonment of longtime Palestinian prisoner and national leader Karim Younis, who has remained in Israeli jails since that time.
The event included presentations by former prisoners Fakhri Barghouthi, Abdel-Fattah Dawla and Saleh al-Sabti and focused on the cases of Karim Younis and his cousin Maher Younis, both from the village of ‘Ara in occupied Palestine 1948. The Younises are among approximately 6,200 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails.
The event was one of a series of seminars carried out with Dr. Abdul-Rahim Sheikh at the University and also involved the Shabiba Movement as well as the Mitras Group, which organized a public mural painting to honor Karim Younis in the university courtyard.
The purpose of the event was both to honor the lengthy struggle of Karim and Maher Younis and their fellow Palestinian prisoners but also to emphasize the importance and centrality of the prisoners’ cause as part of the Palestinian struggle for liberation, particularly in an academic space and environment. Samidoun in occupied Palestine will continue to hold a number of events and activities to build political consciousness and active support for the prisoners’ struggle.
Active Palestinian student and youth organizer Mandela Salem was seized by Israeli occupation forces on 4 January. The former coordinator of the Progressive Democratic Student Pole at Bir Zeit University, Mandela is an engineering graduate who continues to be an active youth organizer.
From the village of Douma near al-Khalil, Mandela is active in a number of initiatives and forums as part of the Palestinian struggle for liberation and return and he was clearly targeted by Israeli occupation forces for his political work and activity.
In addition to his role as a local youth organizer, Mandela is well-known to many international activists who have met with him over the years. Several spoke about his impact on their own organizing:
Geke Hasperhoven, medical student in The Netherlands, said:
“In 2016, when I traveled to Palestine with Students for Justice in Palestine, I met Mandela and his friends. We had such a great time with them, Mandela always joking but never drawing too much attention to himself.”
“He appears laid-back, but at the same time he is always open to learn something new, and to have discussions. After my visit, we continued to speak on facebook, and I found him to be so thoughtful and nuanced. He would explain their work and the situation with extreme patience, and with thorough understanding of how our ‘western perspective’ would make it difficult for us to work hard for the resistance. Also, his general interest shows to be very broad, for he graduated a science major, but his mind seems always concerned with (local, university national etc) politics, writing ‘I can’t live without politics.'”
“He has so many ideas about democracy and on how to structurally improve the situation in Palestine. I feel like the struggle on the resistance weighs heavy on Mandela’s shoulders, but it doesn’t keep him from being interested in other people, other countries and struggles. For example when I was in Cairo, Egypt last year, and I told him about a demonstration there in memory of Basil al-Araj, he showed to be so very considerate about the tense situation there, that makes it also difficult for Egyptians to protest. In other words, I am happy to know Mandela Salam and I am wishing for him (and all other political prisoners) to be released soon.”
A member of New York City Students for Justice in Palestine on the 2016 delegation said:
“I met Mandela Salem through an international solidarity delegation. While thinking about his case, I am reminded of the similarities between progressive students here and in Palestine. While the Zionist states exacts its own brutality, we share in being surveilled, arrested, and repressed in our organizing. Mandela pushed me to more deeply understand the significance of international solidarity, and the fact that we must unite struggles happening in the United States with the Palestinian cause. On a personal level, he was an extremely welcoming host when I was in Palestine. We shared meals and relaxation time, usually at the end of the day when our group finished the itinerary for the day. I know we will meet again in a free Palestine.”
Another international activist who joined a 2017 delegation to Palestine said:
“Another Palestinian activist was arrested by Israeli forces. I would like to use my voice to honour Mandela’s braveness to stand up against the Israeli Occupation forces. Notwithstanding that a couple of weeks ago his comrade Saleh was arrested, as well as dozen other Palestinians on a daily basis, he continued to fight the fight against injustice. This fight can be fought armed. Another powerful tools, however, are organising, resisting and speaking up. Mandela used his time and effort to raise awareness about the degrading treatment Palestinians have to suffer by hosting foreign activists in his very home. .. Knowing about Mandela’s engagement in the cause, it is sadly not surprising that the Israeli forces would eventually step in. I am sure, however, that whatever cruelty awaits him during his arrest, this young Palestinian, too, will not be silenced. I am lucky that I met this extraordinary person and am thankful for everything he did for my and friends while we were in Palestine. My thoughts are with him and his family.”
Another delegate said:
“Mandela never hesitated to take me in when i traveled, as a Palestinian, to Palestine the first time in my entire life. I stayed at his apartment and he let me stay at his home as if it’s my own. Besides his deep ideals en visions, he is one of the most optimistic guys i met in Palestine. He showed me my own roots. The land, the beauty of Palestine and he helped me solve a lot of questions i had. He took me to the museum of Mahmoud Darwish and to the tomb of my greatest hero: Yasser Arafat. He took me to the Nelson Mandela statue and told me stories about him. Mandela is not only a great friend. He is a brother.”
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network denounces the seizure of Mandela Salem and demands his immediate release – and the freedom of all 6,200 Palestinian political prisoners held in Israeli jails. The targeting of Mandela Salem is only the latest example of the systematic policy of attacks and imprisonment against prominent youth activists and young Palestinian leaders under occupation, in an attempt to jail the next generation of Palestinian strugglers leading the movement forward; this is something that is also visible in the imprisonment of Ahed Tamimi and thousands more young Palestinians. We urge all friends and supporters of Palestine, and especially student and youth organizations, to join the call to free Mandela and his fellow Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails.
TAKE ACTION:
1) Individuals, organizations, associations and student unions and groups: write a letter or a statement in support of Mandela, or take a group photo with a sign that says, “Free Mandela Salem!” and use #FreeMandela on social media. Share your statements and photos on Facebook, or email samidoun@samidoun.net.
2) Organize or join one of the many protests for Jerusalem and Palestinian prisoners and distribute this post and other news about Mandela, Ahed and all of the Palestinian prisoners. Get others involved in the struggle for Palestinian freedom! Tell us about your events – email samidoun@samidoun.net.
3) Join the Boycott, Divest and Sanction Campaign to build the campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel and complicit corporations like HP and G4S.
Lebanese-Canadian professor Hassan Diab was ordered released and all charges against him dropped by a French investigative judge on his case yesterday, 12 January 2018. Diab was extradited from Canada and held for three years in solitary confinement in France on the basis of bogus “terrorism” charges despite clear evidence of his innocence. While the struggle isn’t over, as the French state can appeal, this is an important victory for Hassan Diab and against the use of “terror” charges to terrorize oppressed communities.
Of course, French state persecution continues – from the use of anti-terror laws and the “state of emergency” to impose fear and repression on oppressed communities through police violence and surveillance to the charges against BDS activists for advocacy for Palestine to, atop the list, the over 33 years of imprisonment of Lebanese Communist struggler for Palestine, Georges Ibrahim Abdallah.
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network salutes Hassan Diab, his wife Rania Tfaily, his dedicated French and Canadian legal team and all of the Justice for Hassan Diab campaigners who have struggled for years for his release from years of unjust imprisonment in French prison and extradition from Canada on the basis of bogus “terrorism” charges. Yesterday, he was ordered released after three years of solitary confinement and the charges against him dropped. He is working now to come back to Canada.
Of course, the struggle isn’t over. French officials can pursue another appeal to attempt to shore up their bogus terror case – and we’ve seen how the French state refuses even the rule of its own judiciary in the case of the struggler Georges Ibrahim Abdallah. Nevertheless, this is an important victory for Hassan Diab and against the use of “terror” prosecutions on the basis of secret evidence, evidence obtained through torture and politically-motivated intelligence agencies.

We are reprinting below the statement of the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group on the case:
CIVIL LIBERTIES COALITION WELCOMES THE RELEASE OF CANADIAN HASSAN DIAB IN FRANCE
Jan. 12, 2018 – After a decade-long ordeal, French judges have dropped all allegations against Canadian Hassan Diab and ordered his immediate release.
“We are overjoyed for Hassan, his partner Rania, and their two children, that this ordeal is finally coming to a close,” said Tim McSorley, national coordinator with the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group. “That Hassan Diab was extradited in the first place continues to raise serious questions about Canada’s judicial process. For now, though, we look forward to seeing Hassan safe and sound back in Canada.”
Hassan Diab was arrested by the RCMP for extradition to France in 2008, on allegations that he participated in the 1980 bombing of a synagogue in Paris that killed 4 bystanders. He was extradited to France in 2014. Since then he has spent more than three years in pre-trial detention, as investigative judges weighed whether to proceed to trial.
Since 2008, the ICLMG has joined Rania, Hassan’ lawyers, the Justice for Hassan Diab support committee and others in questioning the evidence presented against Hassan, and criticizing the Canadian extradition system that allowed him to be sent to France in the first place.
It is important to remember that at the time of the extradition hearings, Justice Maranger described the evidence against Hassan as “illogical”, “very problematic,” and “convoluted,” but that the low threshold for evidence under Canada’s extradition law left him no choice but to commit Dr. Diab to extradition. “It will be important to remain vigilant to ensure that no other Canadian faces the ordeal that Hassan has been through,” said McSorley.
The ICLMG congratulates Rania, Don Bayne and all of Hassan’s lawyers, and the support committee for their tireless work in ensuring that an innocent man was not forgotten and is finally being freed.
Pádraic MacCoitir, former Irish Republican prisoner of British colonialism, issued the following video and statement in solidarity with Ahed Tamimi and fellow Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
The video comes as Irish activists in Dublin are organizing a protest for Ahed Tamimi on 13 January at 2:30 pm outside the General Post Office.
Video:
MacCoitir’s statement:
I remember well the early days of 1969 and like many others I never imagined the struggle to last as long as it is- without success so far.
Boys and girls were killed and indeed the first person I saw being shot dead was Desy Healy who was killed by a British soldier while throwing a sauce bottle during a riot on the day the Brits brought in Internment in August 71.
During that particular period of Internment some schoolboys, the youngest being 15, were interned.
Also in Leana an Duin Julie Livingstone was shot dead when a cowardly Britush soldier fired a plastic bullet at her. This was in May 81 during the hunger strike and during a period when many other children were killed and injured when hit with that lethal weapon.
We are seeing this on a daily basis in Palestine and the most famous of those imprisoned is Ahed Tamimi who’s just 15. Ahed has seen a lot in her short life with relatives being killed, wounded and imprisoned. The zionist regime totally ignore the criticism being levelled at them so it’s important we add our voices to the injustice being levelled against the Palestinian people.
**
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network salutes MacCoitir and all of the Irish strugglers who have continued to stand side by side with the Palestinian people’s struggle for liberation over many years of collective resistance to colonialism. Freedom for the people of Ireland and Palestine!
