Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network urged action on the Palestinian Prisoners’ Day, as part of a global escalation to end the genocide in Gaza.
In a lengthy report marking the annual international day to focus on the struggle and liberation of imprisoned Palestinians, Samidoun called for fighting for liberation against Imperialist-Zionist genocide.
“17 April marks Palestinian Prisoners’ Day, the annual international day to focus on the struggle and liberation of imprisoned Palestinians; this year, 2025, marks the second Palestinian Prisoners’ Day amid the height of the escalated US-Zionist genocide perpetrated against the Palestinian people, particularly in the Gaza Strip and throughout occupied Palestine,” the report, published on Wednesday, read.
Samidoun said the Palestinian Prisoners’ Day has been commemorated since 1974, as it “highlights the struggle of Palestinian political prisoners behind Zionist bars, their leadership in the ongoing resistance and revolution, and emphasizes the ongoing demand for the full liberation of all Palestinian prisoners, a necessary component in the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea.”
In the report, the solidarity network touched upon the current situation of Palestinian prisoners, and the martyrs of the prisoners’ movement, as well as the role of the Palestinian prisoners in the resistance.
