PROTEST TO FREE ALL PALESTINIAN POLITICAL PRISONERS<br>
MONDAY, APRIL 18<br>
noon - 1:00 p.m.<br>
Bay Area Red Cross Office, 85 Second Street, San Francisco<br><br>
BECAUSE ...<br><br>
... 8000 Palestinians are currently being held as political prisoners by
Israel, including around 370 Palestinian children and 100 Palestinian
women. These prisoners face forms of torture and mistreatment during
their arrest and detention, and are consistently denied family and lawyer
visits.<br>
... April 17th is the International Day in Solidarity with Palestinian
Political Prisoners.<br>
... The International Committee of the Red Cross is responsible for
maintaining contact with prisoners, delivering clothes and other
essential items and monitoring the conditions of detention and ensuring
compliance with international laws regarding rights of prisoners. The
International Committee of the Red Cross in the West Bank and Gaza Strip
is not carrying out frequent visits to central Israeli prisons and has
failed to deliver urgently needed supplies.<br>
... Eighteen-month-old Nour Ghanem and his mother, Manal Naji Mahmoud
Ghanem, are currently imprisoned in Telmond Prison and are denied needed
medical care and adequate nutrition. Nour's relatives are not allowed to
bring toys for him to play with.<br><br>
This action called by the Justice In Palestine Coalition in solidarity
with 100s of actions to be held around the world that day<br><br>
