Palestine Solidarity Campaign led events and campaigns across the country for Palestinian Prisoners’ Day focused against G4S.
The day was also an opportunity to continue the campaign for Palestinian prisoner, Samer Issawi. He had been on hunger strike for more than 8 months following his re-arrest. He had previously been released as part of the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange. He has been victorious in his steadfast refusal to be removed from Jerusalem. Samer has now agreed with the Israel authorities he will be released to his home in Jerusalem but have to serve another 8 months.
Following the protests the Financial Times published an article about G4S pulling out of some operations in the West Bank, but PSC has highlighted G4S intend to continue prison contracts in Israel – in violation of Palestinian human rights. Tell G4S CEO they must pull out of their contracts with Israel.

Lessons from Gaza: solidarity with Palestine!
The central message for the more than 250 delegates at the Lessons from Gaza conference was that solidarity with Palestine is the key. Gaza is indivisible from Palestine, and Palestinians – in Gaza, Jerusalem, the West Bank, in Israel or in exile, can not be divided. Palestinians want our assistance with the work we are best placed to do – such as lobbying our Governments and campaigning locally. The majority of speakers were Palestinians, and conference delegates heard from Gaza and the West Bank via Skype. Watch Jeremy Corbyn MP open the conference>
