Samer’s hunger strike, demanding his freedom.
Samer Issawi, a former prisoner released
as part of the prisoner exchange on October 18, 2011 that
freed 476 other Palestinian prisoners on the same day, was
arrested only eight months after his release, accused of
violating his release by leaving the municipal boundaries of
Jerusalem; he was arrested, and is accused of being, near
the village of Hizma, inside the borders of Jerusalem
municipality. He faces an additional fifteen years in prison
if he is convicted in Israeli military courts (with
their 99.74%
conviction rate) of leaving Jerusalem while remaining
within its borders. Learn more about his case.
Samer launched his hunger strike on
August 1, 2012. He has now been on hunger strike for 160
days, and urgent action and international attention are
needed to support his struggle!
The day of action includes
a global
hunger strike, and protests inNew York, Washington DC, Philadelphia, London, Padova andCairo.
The action will be preceded by
a Twitter Call to Action 12 hours before the
global hunger strike begins – at 9 PM Palestine time,
7 PM London time, 2 PM Eastern Time and 11 AM Pacific Time
on Sunday, January 7. Tweet
