🚨ALL OUT FOR PALESTINIAN PRISONERS’ DAY 🚨 🗓 Friday April 17, 2026, 6:30 pm 📍 Creekside Park, 1455 Quebec Street, Vancouver ”The one who resists is the one who has the final say and determines what should and should not be done. Resistance is the title of dignity. Anything else is a slaughter of dignity” — Georges Abdallah Palestinian political prisoners are at the heart of the liberation struggle, and are the leadership of the liberation movement. Inside Zionist prisons, resistance factions continue political education, collective action, and hunger strikes. Prisoners persist as the leaders of the movement not despite their incarcertion, but precisely because of the political clarity forged by their position within the occupations’ legal system and prison walls. This year, Palestinian Prisoners’ Day carries a new urgency: On March 30, the Knesset passed a genocidal execution law targetting Palestinian prisoners. War criminal Benjamin Netanyahu voted in favor, and Itamar Ben-Gvir celebrated the laws passing by donning a noose pin and opening a bottle of champagne on the Knesset floor. This law legalizes the execution of Palestinian prisoners convicted of resistance, with executions to occur by hanging within 90 days of sentencing. This law applies to Palestinians tried in military courts in the West Bank and civil courts in Jerusalem, 1948 Palestine, and Gaza, while settler violence is exempt. This law also attempts to block the success of prisoner exchanges by excluding those with severe sentences from future deals. Their prisons could not break the prisoners’ movement, so they seek new methods. But they will never succeed. The British executed three Palestinian revolutionaries in 1930, and the movement continued to grow. Now, in 2026, the movement will grow and strengthen too. The occupation calculates in isolation and fear. We disrupt their calculations by mobilizing, by honouring the prisoners’ steadfastness and leadership with action. Let us take it to the streets this 17th of April to send a message that we will not forget our prisoners. We are an organized opposition. Silence is not an option. Free all Palestinian Political Prisoners 🇵🇸
