  *CALL TO ACTION: OCTOBER 17-25*
  *Freedom for Ahmad Sa’adat, Georges Ibrahim Abdallah and all
  Palestinian Prisoners! Support the Palestinian Resistance!*

*http://freeahmadsaadat.org/2015/10/08/call-to-action-october-17-24-free-ahmad-saadat-georges-abdallah-and-all-palestinian-prisoners-support-the-palestinian-resistance/*

Today, in Palestine, the Palestinian people are rising up, marching, 
demanding justice and an end to the settlements, ethnic cleansing, and 
apartheid that has ravaged their land. The Zionist state is repressing 
Palestinians with massive brutality: shooting down Palestinian youths in 
murderous extrajudicial assassinations, rounding up demonstrators in 
mass arrests, closing Jerusalem’s Old City to Palestinians, attacking 
Al-Aqsa Mosque with invasions and burnings, and sending mobs of settler 
colonists to attack Palestinian villages. Hundreds of Palestinians have 
been wounded with US-made and funded tear gas and bullets in the past 
several days.

*And Palestinians are rising up*! From inside the prison walls to the 
streets of Jerusalem, Nablus, Al-Khalil, Tulkarem, Nazareth, 
Palestinians are resisting. Zionist occupation forces are waging a 
campaign of terror, arrest and assassination as well as the demolition 
of the family homes of Palestinian resisters and martyrs, while the 
bodies of slain Palestinian youth are being held hostage by the Zionist 
state.

*Amid the rising in Palestine, we stand with the Palestinian prisoners, 
the Palestinian people and the Palestinian Resistance! The Campaign to 
Free Ahmad Sa’adat urges the widest international participation in a 
Week of Action for Freedom for Palestine and its imprisoned leaders of 
the Resistance*.

The Zionist state has announced its intention to intensify the use of 
administrative detention in an attempt to silence the Palestinian masses 
on the streets. Inside the prisons, Palestinian prisoners are daily 
stripped of their most basic natural and human rights, facing brutality 
and oppression.

Thousands of the leaders and resisters of the Palestinian people are 
held captive in Zionist jails. Ahmad Sa’adat

the General Secretary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of 
Palestine – is one of these Palestinian national leaders, alongside his 
comrades of resistance.

As Palestine and the Palestinian people are under attack, the 
imperialist and colonialist states: the United States, Canada, Australia 
and European governments – continue to arm, support and empower the 
Zionist project in Palestine and its attacks on the Palestinian people. 
We see this in the case of Rasmea Odeh, who will bring her appeal to a 
US court on October 14 after years of persecution. Georges Ibrahim 
Abdallah

Lebanese Arab communist struggler for the liberation of Palestine, has 
been imprisoned in French jails for 32 years, an anniversary marked on 
October 24 with an international day of action 
<http://freeahmadsaadat.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5ab7fc53ae61c282b60cde70b&id=c4bf2c7145&e=31529d662c> and 
a massive national march to the prison in Lannemezan, France where he is 
held.

*On this week of action, we demand freedom for Ahmad Sa’adat, for 
Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, for all Palestinian prisoners and prisoners 
for Palestine! We stand with the Palestinian masses rising up throughout 
Palestine, and the Palestinian communities in diaspora and revolutionary 
and anti-imperialist movements around the world who are rising up for 
liberation!*

It is also critical to build the boycott and international isolation of 
the Zionist state on all levels and the corporations that are deeply 
involved in sustaining its repression, in particular the British-Danish 
security company G4S 
<http://freeahmadsaadat.us8.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=5ab7fc53ae61c282b60cde70b&id=3073febc3f&e=31529d662c>, 
that provides control rooms and security systems for the prisons where 
Palestinian prisoners – children, adults, elders, leaders, organizers – 
are held.

*On October 17-24, 2015, take action: organize protests, actions and 
events in your area to demand freedom for Ahmad Sa’adat, Georges Ibrahim 
Abdallah and all of the Palestinian and Arab political prisoners in 
occupation prisons and facing oppression and imprisonment around the world.*
