PNN Monday January 21, in a press release, Al-Awda, The Palestine Right To Return Coalition and the Free Samer Issawi Campaign issue a call to action, calling on all people of conscience across the globe to stand with Palestinian political prisoner and hunger striker Samer Issawi in his fight for freedom and justice. Samer Issawi has been on hunger strike for over 178 days now, protesting both the injustice of his own detention and that of all the other Palestinian political prisoners.
Samer Issawi and other Palestinian political prisoners are subjected to indefinite detention without charges or trial which is inhumane and a violation of intl law. The Palestine Right To Return Coalition and the Free Samer Issawi Campaign demand the release of Samer Issawi immediately, noting that he is "currently dying before us and before the eyes of the world."
"CALL TO ACTION
We call on all justice seeking people around the world to stand with Samer Issawi. His life is literally on the line while the mass media is neglecting his freedom call. We are calling on people all over to plan to drop banners at all public locations this Monday January 21, 2013, which happens to be Dr. Martin Luther King Day, and on subsequent days until his release. We call on protests to be organized everywhere. We need to save Samer's life and bring his human struggle to the mainstream above the media blackout.
"My detention is unjust and illegal, just like the Palestinian occupation. My demands are legitimate and just thus I will not withdraw from the battle for freedom, waiting for either victory and freedom-or martyrdom.""
