Support the Palestine Action Prisoners!

Protest 12pm Saturday 22nd July at Piccadilly Gardens!

Support the Palestine Action Prisoners!🇵🇸 🇵🇸

6 people are in prison and over 100 are facing prison for taking action to disrupt the production of Israeli weapons on British soil. This shows in clear terms how the state is protecting the interests of Israel’s military supply chain over the freedom of its own citizens.

Whilst Palestinians are incarcerated for defending their homes from demolition, their people being surveilled, bombed and shot – Palestine Actionists are jailed for breaking the links with Israel’s murder machine right here on British soil. We demand freedom for our prisoners just as we demand freedom for Walid Daqqah, and all Palestinian prisoners!

In Britain and in Palestine, imperialism seeks to cage what it cannot control.

We the people stand for justice and call for the freedom of all Palestine Action prisoners and the closure of all Israeli weapons factories.

Palestine Actionists are not guilty, Elbit is guilty!

Manchester stands with Jenin! – Manchester stands with Palestine!

Emergency Demonstration Tuesday 4pm at Whalley Range/Old Trafford Brooks Bar Main Junction, the crossroads at Withington Road, Upper Chorlton Road and Moss Lane West. M16 7RN.

Since last night, the Israeli military has been attacking Jenin refugee camp in what is considered the biggest raid on Jenin since 2002. So far, dozens of airstrikes have been launched, leading to the killing of 8 and the injury of over 100, some in critical condition. Additionally, two Palestinians were shot dead by the occupation forces near Ramallah.

Israeli atrocities did not end by brutally bombing a refugee camp with an already devastated infrastructure, but as we send they are deliberately preventing medical teams and ambulances from reaching areas where there are many seriously injured.

We do not know how many more are dead or fighting for their lives under the rubble and given that Israeli officials have declared this “an open-ended operation” and are threatening to widen the attack to other areas, many more Palestinian souls could be lost in the next days.

In these times, it is our duty to stand with the people of Jenin, who are having to face the Israeli assault on their lives day by day, surrounded by death. It is also our duty to stand with the Palestinian resistance against Israeli settler-colonialism, who have been fighting this latest Israeli attack with everything it has.

Stand with the grieving familes, stand with the resistance and come and stand with Palestine in the emergency demonstration tomorrow, Tuesday 4th July at
Whalley Range/Old Trafford Brooks Bar Main Junction, crossroads of Withington Road, Upper Chorlton Road and Moss Lane West. M16 7RN.

Global Day of Action to boycott Puma – PROTEST ISRAEL’S MASSACRE IN JENIN

Demonstration 12pm this Saturday 24th June in Piccadilly Gardens:

5 more Palestinians have just been murdered by Israel in Jenin refugee camp in the first bombing by a combat helicopter in the West Bank since the second intifada in 2005. A 15 year old boy Ahmed Saqr was one one of those killed and among the 91 injured was a 15 year old girl shot in her house.

Israel cannot get away with these crimes without international support.

This Saturday is the global day of action to boycott Puma for their sponsorship of Apartheid Israel’s Football Association (IFA).

The IFA incorporate 6 Israeli teams in illegal West Bank settlements. Israel meanwhile has regularly bombed, murdered, maimed and imprisoned Palestinian sportsmen, women and youth. It is time to act during this crucial time as Puma are negotiating to renew their contract with Israel.Please share and get as many out in Manchester as possible to protest Israel’s ongoing atrocities in Palestine and to break the kill chain between High Street companies like Puma and Israel’s brutal murder and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians.

Bring flags, placards, noise and yourselves! 📣📣🇵🇸🇵🇸

Demonstration on Palestinian Prisoners Day

Demonstration on Palestinian Prisoners Day this Monday 5.30pm Piccadilly Gardens

There are more than 5000 Palestinian political prisoners detained behind Israeli prison bars, including over 500 administrative detainees (incarcerated without charge) and around 700 children.

The Israeli Prison Service practices a multitude of oppressive tactics to crush the spirit of our brave prisoners, including torture, medical negligence, the stripping of rights and physical violence, among others.

Recently, the prisoner Walid Daqqa is undergoing medical treatment due to a deadly illness. Walid’s family has launched a campaign demanding his release. He was meant to be released in March of this year but the Zionist court extended his sentence for two additional years.

For the fifth time, Khader Adnan has launched a hunger strike after Israeli forces arrested him once again. He has been on hunger strike for the past 67 days and is facing severe health conditions.
Among the 29 women prisoners, seven are injured, and 15 are suffering from various health issues and are facing medical negligence.

These are just few examples. Not too long ago the prisoners were facing heightened forms of brutality and oppression by prison guards and were about to enter a mass hunger strike that ended after they courageously forced the prison administration to accept their demands.

In spite of continued assault on their bodies and spirits, Palestinian prisoners have always been at the forefront of the Palestinian resistance.
We follow their lead in our quest for justice and liberation.


In the spirit of the Palestinian resistance, and as it is our duty to support Palestinian political prisoners until they are free, we call on you to join the demonstration 5.30pm on Monday 17 April, which marks the Palestinian Prisoners day, at Piccadilly Gardens.
