19 August, Paris: Protest to free Muhammad Allan and all Palestinian Prisoners

Wednesday, August 19
17:00 – 19:30
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Paris, France
Metro: Invalides

Organized by CAPJPO-EuroPalestine

Announcement in French:

Ceci est un appel urgent. Il y va de la vie d’un avocat de 31 ans, dans le coma, suite à une grève de la faim de 2 mois pour protester contre la détention sans inculpation et sans jugement qu’il subit dans les prisons israéliennes, et cela en toute impunité.

Comme l’écrit le quotidien Le Monde : « Le sort de Mohammed Allan, prisonnier en grève de la faim, est devenu en quelques jours un symbole du combat contre la détention sans inculpation ».*

Car des centaines d’autres Palestiniens, hommes, femmes et enfants, sont comme lui incarcérés depuis des décennies par l’occupant israélien, sans la moindre charge et pour des durées illimitées.

Cet Etat, que l’on nous présente comme un modèle de civilisation et de modernité, kidnappe, enferme et torture des milliers de Palestiniens, qui sont devenus de véritables otages entre ses mains.

Et devant la vague de protestations suscitée en Palestine occupée contre ces pratiques barbares, figurez-vous que le gouvernement israélien vient de proposer de libérer Muhammad Allan… à condition qu’il accepte d’être déporté à l’étranger !

Un marché immonde, que son avocat et sa famille refusent d’autant qu’avant de tomber dans le coma il a laissé un testament clair, expliquant son combat au nom de la dignité humaine et de ce que subit l’ensemble des prisonniers politiques palestiniens.

Pour rappel :

– Israël n’a pas le droit, en tant que puissance occupante, de transférer des Palestiniens sur son territoire (4ème Convention de Genève).

– Israël se sert des emprisonnements de Palestiniens (800.000 depuis 1957) pour faire pression sur l’ensemble de la population et des familles afin qu’elles abandonnent leurs terres et partent.

– Israël a légalisé la torture

– Israël pratique massivement la détention dite « administrative », c’est à dire sans inculpation ni jugement (même pas par ses tribunaux militaires pourris)

– Israël ne reconnait pas aux Palestiniens le statut de prisonniers politiques

– Israël ne restitue pas aux familles les corps des prisonniers palestiniens qui meurent de maladies, mauvais traitements, au moment de leur décès, mais le plus souvent des années plus tard, à « l’échéance de la sentence » quand une sentence a été prononcée.

Free Muhammad Allan and all Palestinian Prisoners! Statement by NYC SJP

The following prisoner solidarity statement was issued on 18 August by New York City Students for Justice in Palestine. Join NYC SJP at 4 PM on 18 August at Dag Hammarksjold Plaza outside the UN in New York City for an emergency protest to free Muhammad Allan!

New York City Students for Justice in Palestine calls for solidarity with Muhammad Allan, a 31 year old Palestinian Lawyer who is being detained by israel without charge or trial. Allan has been hunger striking for his release for over 60 days, since June 14th, 2015. Despite his loss of eyesight, hearing, and all strength in his body, israel has made certain to keep his ankle and wrist cuffed to his hospital bed, and has continually denied his release.

The israeli parliament passed a bill at the end of July that allows the force-feeding of hunger striking Palestinian prisoners. Since then, Allan has been transferred to two different hospitals in the effort to have doctors force-feed him. Both hospitals refused to partake in this practice because it is widely acknowledged to be unethical, life threatening, and a form of torture.

Zionists scapegoat expressly militant youth such as Lina Khattab to justify administrative detention and imprisonment, regardless of the actual content of their actions. Yet it is clear that all Palestinians are subject to inhumane treatment by the israeli ethnocracy, even (and in some cases, especially) when they attempt to use existing channels such as academia and the law that purport to reflect universal liberal values in their pursuit of justice.

Allan’s case does not exist in a vacuum; as of July, Israel was holding 5,442 Palestinian political prisoners and detainees. Such treatment of Palestinians by the occupation is routine. Concurrently, we must recognize that the brutal treatment of Palestinian political prisoners does more than simply underscore the occupation’s indefensible moral standards—it is a manifestation of Zionist logic itself. Zionism requires this treatment because it is predicated on the erasure of the Palestinian people and the denial of their right to self-determination.

We join thousands of people of conscience around the world in calling for Allan’s immediate release along with all other administrative detainees, and for the end of force feeding. Justice for Muhammad Allan and all political prisoners in Palestine, the United States, and across the world!

Muhammad Allan regains consciousness, pledges to continue hunger strike

Muhammad Allan, hunger-striking Palestinian lawyer held in administrative detention without charge or trial, has regained consciousness and is dedicated to continuing his hunger strike after 64 days, reported Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association.

Doctors at Barzilai Hospital have ended sedation of Allan as well as the use of a ventilator, and he can communicate with people around them. He has been visited by a Red Cross doctor, but has not been permitted to visit with his lawyer as of yet.

The news comes as members of the Palestinian Bar Association, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society and other Palestinian legal organizations have pledged to boycott Israeli military courts on Wednesday, 19 August, in protest of the continued detention of Allan and demanding his release.

Meanwhile, the Arab Lawyers Union announced that on Monday, 24 August, at 11 AM, lawyers in all states that are part of the ALU will pause work in front of the courts for a period of one hour in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners and demanding the freedom of fellow lawyer, Muhammad Allan. All Arab countries’ bar associations are members of the ALU.

18 August, Rome: Sit-in in solidarity with Muhammad Allan and all Palestinian political prisoners

Sit-in solidarity with Muhammad Allan and all Palestinian political prisoners
Tuesday, August 18, 5-7 pm
In front of the Palestinian Embassy (Viale Guido Baccelli, around the corner from FAO)

If you are in Rome please try to make it to this action in solidarity with Muhammad Allan, an imprisoned Palestinian lawyer. Allan is in a coma in Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon; he has been on hunger strike for 64 days protesting his imprisonment without charge or trial under administrative detention. Some 180 other Palestinian prisoners are also on hunger strike to protest against Israel’s use of this form of imprisonment, which blatantly violates international law.

There have been calls at an international level for action to free Muhammed Allan and his fellow Palestinian prisoners and prevent his torture through force-feeding. Events are upcoming in New York, Berlin, Vancouver and other cities and it is critical that people around the world make their voices heard to hold the Israeli state accountable for the life of Muhammed Allan and release him immediately.

Take Action: Demand freedom – not force feeding – for Muhammad Allan!

Per  la liberazione di Mohammed Allan

detenuto palestinese  nelle carceri israeliane

in coma dopo 60 giorni di sciopero della fame

 

SIT IN ALL’AMBASCIATA PALESTINESE IN ITALIA

MARTEDI’ 18 AGOSTO 2015

ORE 17-19

Mohammed Allan è in sciopero della fame per protestare contro la diffusa pratica  di incarcerare i cittadini palestinesi senza processo e senza neppure la contestazione del motivo della detenzione, alla quale Israele fa ampio ricorso.

La   “detenzione amministrativa”- così è chiamata questa misura – è  palesemente  illegale violando gli articoli 9  e 10 della  Dichiarazione Universale dei Diritti Umani, approvata dall’Assemblea Generale dell’ONU il 10 dicembre 1958.

Per denunciare  la illegittimità della detenzione amministrativa i prigionieri palestinesi sono ricorsi più volte    allo sciopero della fame costringendo non raramente le autorità israeliane a patteggiare la liberazione di detenuti. Nell’intento di stroncare questa forma di lotta  il parlamento israeliano ha approvato una legge che autorizza la nutrizione forzata dei detenuti in sciopero della fame, cercando di dare una  parvenza di legalità ad un intervento  contrastante  con  i protocolli aggiuntivi alla Convenzione di Ginevra   che   vietano di  sottoporre i detenuti “ad un intervento medico che non sia motivato dal loro stato di salute e non sia conforme alle norme sanitarie generalmente riconosciute e applicate in circostanze mediche analoghe alle persone che godono della libertà”, e che    la World Medical Association    ha  dichiarato “immorale  e mai legittimo”.  A sua volta il    presidente dell’Associazione Medici Israeliani (IMA) Dr Leonid Eidelman ha dichiarato che l’IMA non si sarebbe prestata alla tortura, che i suoi membri non avrebbero nutrito a forza i prigionieri che fanno lo sciopero della fame, non avrebbero applicato la legge approvata dalla  Knesset.

In tutto il mondo si stanno levando proteste  contro l’applicazione la recente legge  israeliana e per la liberazione di Mohammed Allan.

Anche a Roma si manifesterà contro questa infamia, in solidarietà con i prigionieri politici palestinesi e per la liberazione di Mohammed Allan  martedì 18 agosto dalle 17 alle 19 innanzi all’Ambasciata in Italia dello Stato di Palestina (Viale Guido Baccelli 10 alle spalle  della Fao).

21 August, Philadelphia: Protest – Free all Palestinian Political Prisoners!

Solidarity with the People of Palestine
Friday, August 21
4:30 – 6 pm
19th and JFK Boulevard, Philadelphia PA
Called by International Action Center-Philadelphia, Endorsed by Revolutionary Student Coordinating Committee Philadelphia and Community College of Philadelphia Students for Justice in Palestine

Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/500719253412883/

For over 5 years, Philadelphia activists in the International Action Center and other groups have held protests in front of the Israeli Consulate on the third Friday of every month. In August, we stand in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners in their steadfast resistance to occupation!

Incarceration is one of the main mechanisms used by Israel to maintain its criminal occupation of Palestine, occupied by the Zionist State since 1948, targeting activists, political leaders, militants and their family members. There are currently over 5700 Palestinian prisoners in the occupation jails, including more than 400 held under ‘administrative detention’, over 160 children along with 25 women and 16 members of the Palestinian Legislative Council. Many of them, like Ahmad Sa’adat, are imprisoned on the basis of their membership in Palestinian organizations that Israel considers “illegal.”

Join us as we condemn last month’s vicious attack by occupation prison guards on Palestinian prisoners, including Ahmad Sa’adat, the jailed General Secretary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The attack started on July 27 in Nafha prison in the south of Palestine, when Israeli guards raided cells in the middle of the night, ransacking and destroying the prisoners’ belongings and attacking the resisting prisoners.

The assault, intended to punish the prisoners for their steadfastness, was met with militant resistance by Comrade Sa’adat and the other targeted prisoners, a number of whom were injured.

In response, Palestinian Organizations have called for protests at Israeli consulates or embassies everywhere.

They are also calling for increased actions answering the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israeli economic, political and cultural institutions and corporations that participate and profit from the Israeli occupation and apartheid.

Palestinian Boycott National Committee calls for action, responds to prisoners’ movement call

The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC) calls on people of conscience around the world to initiate and/or escalate boycott and divestment campaigns against the companies that are most complicit in these Israeli crimes, in response to an unprecedented appeal from Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails. The appeal came in the context of an escalation in Israel’s repression against Palestinian political prisoners.Israel’s systematic use of torture, a crime against humanity under international law, as a policy against Palestinian prisoners, including child prisoners, has recently seen a sharp rise.

Israel, which remains one of few countries in the world that legalizes torture under circumstances deemed as “necessary,” has passed at the end of July a law allowing the force-feeding of Palestinian prisoners who have resorted to hunger strikes as a last ditch attempt to achieve their basic rights and dignity.

The Israeli prison authorities’ attempt to implement the new force-feeding law against 31-year-old Palestinian lawyer and current administrative detainee, Muhammed Allan, has triggered wide Palestinian protests and international condemnation by the UN and numerous human rights organizations.

The BNC calls upon Palestinian and international human rights organization to document the names of Israeli political, military, intelligence and medical figures who are implicated in the systematic and decades-old policy of torture and ill-treatment of Palestinian and other Arab prisoners, in order to bring them to trial at the International Criminal Court.

The national leadership of Palestinian prisoners sent a letter last week to the global BDS movement through the BNC asking for prioritizing the cause of the prisoners and intensifying BDS campaigning against Israeli and international corporations that are most complicit in the crimes committed by Israel against them. The letter read:

“The international [BDS] campaign that you are leading, and that is increasing in effectiveness and outreach day after day, constitutes today a wave of pressure on the [Israeli] occupation government and its institutions. It has become the most important carrier of the voice of the oppressed in the land of Palestine.”

In 2012, the BNC, along with many Palestinian human rights organizations, launched a large international BDS campaign against G4S, the British-Danish private security company that is deeply involved in Israel’s violations of prisoners’ rights and international law.

The boycott campaign has cost G4S many contracts around the world, including in the US, Ireland, Norway, South Africa, among others.

In 2014, the campaign resulted in the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s divestment of all its stock in the company, estimated at more than $180. Around the same time, one of the largest protestant churches in the US, the United Methodist Church, also withdrew its investment from the company.

A large number of trade unions, organizations and student councils around the world have also announced their refusal to contract G4S until it ends its collusion in Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people.

Under this intense pressure from the BDS movement, G4S executives announced in June 2014, at their general shareholders meeting, their intention not to renew the company’s contract with the Israeli prison authority when it lapses in 2017. The decision was confirmed in the shareholders’ meeting this year.

The BDS movement considered the company’s decision an insufficient first step in the right direction. Accordingly, it called for an escalation in the boycott campaign against G4S to compel it to immediately cancel all its contracts with Israel that violate international law and human rights.

Today, with the bloody escalation of Israel’s repressive and criminal measures against Palestinian prisoners, the BNC calls for intensifying boycott and divestment campaigns against the following corporations that are most deeply involved in Israel’s violations of our prisoners’ rights:

1. G4S: provides protection and security systems to the following Israeli prisons and detention centers: Ketziot, Megiddo, Damoun, Ofer, Russian Compound, Abu Kabir and Jalamah.

2. HP: provides electronic equipment and hardware maintenance services to the Israeli prison authority.

3. Volvo, which owns 26% of Merkavim, provides buses used in transferring prisoners. Torture and ill-treatment of prisoners is rife during these transfers.

4. Siemens: provides security and fire-extinguishing systems to Israeli prisons, including Gilboa.

5. Ashtrom: responsible for building Hasharon prison (where female Palestinian prisoners are detained). It also provided pre-fabricated units for Ofer and Ramon prisons.

6. Shamrad: provides security devices for Ramla, Beersheba, Ayalon, Ketziot and Hasharon prisons.

Shireen Issawi launches open hunger strike in solidarity with Muhammad Allan

Shireen Issawi, imprisoned Palestinian lawyer and the sister of imprisoned Palestinian and former long-term hunger striker Samer Issawi, is joining her brother in a hunger strike in solidarity with Muhammad Allan, a fellow imprisoned Palestinian lawyer.

Allan is in a coma in Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon; he has been on hunger strike for 63 days protesting his imprisonment without charge or trial under administrative detention.

Issawi is launching her solidarity strike today, Monday 17 August. Samer launched his strike on Sunday, 16 August. Both are demanding Allan’s immediate release from administrative detention.

Shireen Issawi was arrested in March 2014 with other Palestinian lawyers; her trial in Israeli military court has been repeatedly delayed. She is charged with transferring information from Palestinian prisoners from “hostile parties,” as well as transferring money to prisoners from “prohibited organizations,” namely Palestinian political parties. Her trial has been repeatedly delayed for a year and a half.

In an interview with the Electronic Intifada, Issawi’s mother Layla noted that Shireen had not practiced as a lawyer for over three years; she had been prominent prior to her arrest as the international spokesperson for the campaign to free her brother Samer, whose 266-day hunger strike won his relase in December 2013. (Samer was re-arrested in June 2015 as part of the mass Israeli arrests in the West Bank following the capture of three settlers and has since had his original thirty-year sentence reimposed by a secret military tribunal. He had been released in the October 2011 prisoner exchange with Gilad Shalit.)

The charges against Issawi are violations of the rights of lawyers to represent their clients; they also attempt to criminalize support for prisoners from their political parties, as well as the communication of prisoners to the outside world. As she wrote in a letter from prison in 2014, “I am a lawyer, I have the right and duty to defend our prisoners. To stand for their rights is not unlawful. Although I have been busy recently focusing on completing my Masters thesis, they arrested me. The real reason for my arrest is that the occupation wants to intimidate lawyers from performing their duty in the service of our prisoners. They will not succeed, I dedicate my life for the cause of our prisoners and will not stop fighting for their freedom until all our prisoners are released.”

Palestinian student activist Amjad Samhan sentenced to 12 months in Israeli prison

Palestinian student Amjad Samhan was sentenced to 12 months in Israeli prisons and a 2000 shekel fine in Ofer military court on 17 August. Samhan, 21, is a student at Bir Zeit University.

An activist, involved with the Progressive Democratic Student Pole at Bir Zeit, Samhan was targeted along with 8 other undergraduates at the university in a mass arrest in May: Bilal Yalo, ‘Abdul-Rahman and Mohammad N. Al-Sheikh, Mohammad Ghanem, Khalil Salman, Fadi Washaha, Ahmad Mhanna, and Basil Jamil.

Palestinian students – particularly those who are involved in the student movement or in student unions – have been repeatedly targeted for arrest and imprisoned by Israeli occupying military forces.

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network calls for the immediate release of Samhan and dozens of fellow Palestinian students imprisoned in the jails of the occupation, and urges solidarity from student unions and groups around the world with Palestinian student prisoners.

Take Action: Muhammad Allan rejects attempt to forcibly deport him from Palestine as Supreme Court considers case

Muhammad Allan’s lawyer, Jamal al-Khatib rejected an Israeli military prosecution proposal to release the detained lawyer by forcibly deporting him from Palestine for four years on 17 August. Allan is currently in a coma in Barzilai hospital in Ashkelon after 63 days of hunger strike. He is held in administrative detention without charge or trial.

Today, the Israeli Supreme Court heard arguments filed by al-Khatib and human rights organization Adalah, urging Allan’s immediate release on medical grounds. The Supreme Court postponed its decision until Wednesday, saying that it needed to study the medical file.

This is the second such offer directed at Allan; both proposals have carried extreme penalties – this, 4 years of forcible displacement, and the prior, 2 years of imprisonment under administrative detention – despite the fact that Allan has been charged with nothing, and no evidence has been presented against him. Both proposals in fact violate the Fourth Geneva Convention, clearly using administrative detention in a non-emergent context and threatening to forcibly displace a person from occupied territory.

As the Supreme Court considers Allan’s case, Barzilai Hospital has announced that it is planning to reduce the sedation and anesthesia being administered to Allan, which would allow him to regain consciousness. Ma’an News reported that the decision would “depend on his medical condition.” After Allan fell into a coma on Friday morning, his lawyers have repeatedly charged the medical center with keeping him under sedation in order to administer salts and fluids intravenously without his consent. Palestinian medical sources have become increasingly concerned that important facts about his condition are being hidden after doctor Hani Abdeen was denied access to Allan yesterday, after previous consent was obtained for the visit and examination.

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network reiterates its call for the broadest international action to free Muhammed Allan and his fellow Palestinian prisoners and prevent his torture through force-feeding. Events are upcoming in New York, Berlin, Vancouver and other cities and it is critical that people around the world make their voices heard to hold the Israeli state accountable for the life of Muhammed Allan and release him instantly.

The imprisonment and torture of Allan is part and parcel of the Israeli colonial policy of the mass imprisonment of Palestinians, the attack on the rights of Palestinian prisoners won by long struggle of the Palestinian prisoners’ movement, and the attack on Palestinian existence everywhere in Palestine: the denial of Palestinian refugees’ right to return, land confiscation, home demolitions, ethnic cleansing, siege, apartheid, occupation and settler-colonialism.

Muhammed Allan’s situation is an emergency that requires mobilization and action by all, including the escalation of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel on all levels: economic, military, cultural, academic, as urged by the Palestinian prisoners’ movement.

Take Action: Demand freedom – not force feeding – for Muhammad Allan!

1. Sign on: Send a letter demanding Allan’s freedom, and that he not be force-fed. Israeli officials must hear the voice of the world demanding that this threat of torture be stopped, and that Allan, imprisoned without charge or trial, be freed.

2. Protest at the Israeli consulate or embassy in your area.  Bring posters and flyers about administrative detention and Palestinian hunger strikers and hold a protest, or join a protest with this important information. Hold a community event or discussion, or include this issue in your next event about Palestine and social justice. Please email us at samidoun@samidoun.net to inform us of your action – we will publicize and share news with the prisoners.

3. Boycott, Divest and Sanction. Hold Israel accountable for its violations of international law. Don’t buy Israeli goods, and campaign to end investments in corporations that profit from the occupation. G4S, a global security corporation, is heavily involved in providing services to Israeli prisons that jail Palestinian political prisoners – there is a global call to boycott itPalestinian political prisoners have issued a specific call urging action on G4S.

Israeli Supreme Court to hear petition for release of hunger striker Mohammed Allan

Adalah has filed a petition with the Israeli Supreme Court urging the release of hunger striking detainee Muhammed Allan today, as a Ha’aretz editorial urged his release: “Israel must announce the immediate release of Mohammed Allaan, the Palestinian hunger-striker who is being held in Israel without trial and whose condition deteriorated drastically over the weekend. The state did the right thing last month when it released Khader Adnan, whose life was at risk after a 54-day hunger strike, and it must do the same this time. Any delay could lead to a new cycle of bloodshed, the scope and consequences of which are difficult to predict.”

Adalah petitions Israeli Supreme Court for release of hunger-striking Palestinian detainee Mohammed Allan; Supreme Court hearing today at 1 pm

Adalah, together with private attorney Jamil el-Khatib, submitted an urgent petition to the Israeli Supreme Court today, 17 August 2015, demanding that the General Security Service (GSS or Shabak) and the Military Commander of the occupied West Bank rescind the administrative detention order against Mohammed Allan, and that Allan be released. Allan, a Palestinian lawyer, has been on hunger strike for more than two months in protest against his administrative detention without charge or trial, which began in November 2014.

This petition will join another appeal in this regard by the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Prisoners’ Affairs. The Supreme Court will hold a hearing today on both cases at 1 pm.

In the petition, Adalah and el-Khatib argued that, “The deterioration of the health status of a prisoner on hunger strike drastically changes the objective conditions of his administrative detention, and makes it imperative for the authorities to reconsider the detention order.” The petitioners stressed that the drastic deterioration in Mohammed Allan’s health situation, since he became unconscious on Friday 14 August 2015, eliminates the security concerns that allegedly justify his administrative detention.

Adalah Attorneys Sawsan Zaher and Aram Mahameed emphasized in the petition on behalf of Allan that Supreme Court case law required that the authorities reconsider an administrative detention in the event of any new substantive change in conditions, and oblige them to take action regarding the new realities before them.

Adalah also contended that administrative detention is supposed to be used rarely and as a preventive measure in order to “prevent immediate danger”. However, the Israeli security authorities use it sweepingly as a punitive measure against Palestinians (more than 400 Palestinians are currently held in administrative detention).

The severe deterioration of Allan’s health, his entry into a coma, and his inability to move, presents an immediate danger to his life and safety. His continued administrative detention will ultimately lead to serious bodily harm, and constitutes an immediate danger to his life.
