On 17 April, wear black in Solidarity with Palestinian Political Prisoners
April 17th is Palestinian prisoners day
April 17th is Palestinian Prisoners Day, a date to remind
the public that thousands of Palestinian prisoners are
imprisoned in Israeli jails under extreme difficult
circumstances, where they are exposed to various
forms of torture and inhumane treatment.
Student Prisoners
Over half of the Palestinians arrested by the Israeli
forces are students. The Israeli army often launches
waves of arrests against university students,
particularly first year students simply to collect
information on them. Recently eight Birzeit
University students and one employee have
been arrested by the Israeli army-none of
whom have been charged.
> Currently, over 80 An-Najah (the largest University
in Palestine) students and six members of staff are
locked up in Israeli prisons. Most of whom have not
been charged .
> Currently 255 teachers and employees of the
Ministry of High Education are locked up in
Israeli prisons .
