currently on hunger strike against their administrative detention,
Mahmoud al-Balboul, Mohammed al-Balboul and Malik al-Qadi./
To the heroic Palestinian masses…and to the free people of the world:
My thanks and appreciation for all of your sacrifices for the sake of
Palestine and the Palestinian cause which is too often lost in the halls
of politics and the shelves of postponement, and in particular the cause
of the prisoners, which is abandoned and lost here and there. Today,
this issue was brought to the table with your efforts and your support
and your mobilization in the homeland and in the diaspora. The prisoners
are yesterday’s strugglers and tomorrow’s leaders. We must support them
and I remind you that there are still those prisoners who are fighting a
vicious battle against this occupier that does not understand anything
but the language of challenge. You are the ones who can do this; and I
remind you of the two Balboul brothers and Malik al-Qadi, and bless the
victory of Ayed al-Heraimi, which is no less than my victory and the
victory of others. I call upon you to stand with them in their struggle
until the battle of hunger is victorious against the arsenal of the
occupier. Inevitably, they will win.
Let us not forget the sick prisoners and those who are suffering from
deliberate medical neglect, administrative detainees, and the
re-arrested freed prisoners who have been set by the occupation for a
slow execution. I do not forget my comrades who continue to refuse to
bow in the dungeons of solitary confinement, deprivation of visits,
redution of rights who remain on strike to defend the prisoners. The
truth is that they are the ones who have written the glorious historical
epic, from the teen prisoners, the girls, the leaders and the elders, at
their head the General Secretary, Comrade Ahmad Sa’adat, and the leaders
of the PFLP prison branch, as the occupation attempts to dismantle the
organization and liquidate the victory, but every moment, they are
victorious. Certainly, they will prevail.
Your brother, Bilal Kayed
