PALESTINAN PRISONERS DAY RALLY
Blackburn for Palestine
Palestinian Prisoners Day Rally 🇵🇸
Stop Palestinian hostages execution law
The new law, which was put forward by the Jewish Power party led by far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, and members of the governing coalition and was approved by the Israeli Knesset on March 30, 2026
Its passing marks a dangerous and unprecedented escalation in Israel’s pursuit of Palestinian erasure.
This law mandates the death penalty for Palestinians accused of causing the death of an Israeli citizen ‘deliberately or through indifference,’ from a motive of racism or hostility against an Israeli citizen and with the aim of harming the State of Israel and ‘the national revival of the Jewish people in its land’.
It includes two distinct tracks: in the occupied West Bank, military courts would impose the death penalty under military law, by a simple majority of judges rather than a unanimous decision. In ‘Israel’ and occupied East Jerusalem, the death penalty would apply under Israeli criminal law.
The wording of the legislation makes clear that it will function as yet another apartheid policy and genocidal tool, in that it will apply exclusively to Palestinians, entrenching Israel’s racial domination, subjugation, and destruction of the Palestinian people. In all cases, sentences would be mandatory, carried out by hanging within 90 days, and expressly exempt from commutation. This puts thousands of Palestinian detainees – including children – at imminent risk of execution.
Since October 2023 atleast 100 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody, under conditions describes as medical neglect, mental and physical abuse, torture, rape, and severe deprivation.
There are currently over 9400 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons, including women and children. This includes thousands under "administrative detention," which allows for indefinite imprisonment without charge or trial.
We stand in solidarity with all Palestinian prisoners and polictcol prisoners globally.
Free the prisoners, free them all, break the chains and let them fall!
