URGENT CALL TO ACTION from the Dismantle Damon Campaign!
On December 12, Break the isolation of Khalida Jarrar!
Take to the streets * Organize events * Drop banners
On December 12, it will be 4 months to the day since Khalida Jarrar, a Palestinian academic, feminist activist and emblematic figure of Palestinian women's resistance, and in particular of women prisoners, has been held in solitary confinement in extremely difficult conditions. Locked in a room of 2m by 1.5m, with no windows or ventilation, she is forced to lie close to the door of the cell to get a minimum of fresh air.
Khalida Jarrar: "I die every day. The cell is like a small closed box where no air enters. There is only a toilet in the cell with a small window above it, which was later sealed just on day after my transfer. They left me no space to breathe, and even what is called the “ashnav” (peephole) on the cell door was sealed. There is only a small opening where i sit most of the time to breathe. I am suffocating in my cell, waiting for the hours to pass, hoping to find some oxygen particles to breathe and stay alive.”
Khalida Jarrar was imprisoned as punishment for her academic and research work. Shortly before her arrest, she had published a research paper on the conditions of detention in Zionist prisons after October 7, and was due to attend an international colloquium. Her imprisonment is an attack on Palestinian academia and the universal right to education.
This solitary confinement is a deliberate attack on Khalida Jarrar's life and an attack on all Palestinian prisoners. Khalida Jarrar is being targeted because of the model of resistance and fighting spirit she represents for her fellow prisoners. The Zionist regime believes that by distancing resistance leaders from their people, it will succeed in annihilating the resistance.
But the entire people embody the heroic and tireless resistance of the Palestinian people, as shown by Gaza the steadfast, despite more than a year of genocide.
Faced with this situation, we call on all organisations, groups and support of the Palestinian people to mobilise massively on December 12 in support of Khalida Jarrar and all Palestinian prisoners, to demand an end to her isolation and her immediate release! In our universities, in our streets, in our demonstrations, through legal/juridical and institutional actions, leafleting, symbolic photos, rallies, banners, demonstrations, collages and graffiti : lets unite to break her isolation and to free all Palestinian prisoners!
| 2 |  +1Palestinian prisoner, Birzeit University student Shahd Owaida, was sentenced by an illegitimate zionist military court to 9 months in prison and a 2,000 NIS fine.
Shahd is a left-wing student activist originally from Beita, Nablus, and a computer science student. She was arrested on March 27 after a rally at which she gave a moving and powerful speech. Fadia Barghouti, one of her fellow prisoners released on May 21, describes her as "as solid and tall as the mountains of Nablus". | 273 |
| 3 |  On Sunday December 1, Palestinian journalist Rasha Herzallah embraced freedom after 6 months in colonial prisons !
Herzallah, 39, from Nablus, is the sister of the martyr Mohammed Herzallah "Abu Hamdi", one of the leaders of the Lions’ Den. He was martyred on 23 November 2022 from the injuries he received on 24 July of that year, during the assassination of fellow Lions’ Den founders, the martyrs Mohammed al-Azizi and Aboud Suboh.
He was also a former Palestinian prisoner who spent one and a half years in Zionist prisons.
One of Rasha's first actions upon her liberation was to visit the grave of her brother Mohammed, hugging his graves
Rasha Herzallah is one of nearly 100 Palestinian journalists detained in occupation prisons and one of at least six women journalists held in Damon prison, including Rula Hassanein, Israa Lafi, Bushra al-Tawil, Nidaa al-Zoughabi, the students Amal Shujaiya and Duaa al-Qadi, and Sumaya Jawabreh, under house arrest. | 202 |
| 4 | The following article, by author Alaa Abed, was originally published in Arabic at @web_banfsj, a Palestinian website dedicated to women’s issues, on 20 November.
For more information about Palestinian women prisoners or to get involved with the independent international campaign for their liberation, please visit @dismantle_damon.
Rula Hassanein, abducted by the Zionist occupation forces on 19 March 2024 from her home in al-Ma’asara, southeast of Bethlehem, is one of multiple women journalists imprisoned by the occupation, including Rasha Herzallah, Israa Lafi, Bushra al-Tawil, Amal Shujaiya, Nidaa al-Zoughaibi, and Sumaya Jawabreh (in house arrest). Freedom for Rula and all Palestinian prisoners! Read the translated article at the link:

| 5 |  +8On November 28, 2024, three female students from Al Khalil were released from colonial prisons after 12 months in administrative detention, imprisonment without charge or trial:
Angham Youssef Asafra, 21, and Shahad Muhammad Asafra, 20, both from Beit Kahil, are students at Al Khalil University, and Baraa Jamal Karama, aged 19, is a student at the Palestinian Polytechnic University of Al Khalil. All three had been arrested during a raid on the city of Al Khalil on December 3, 2023.
A fourth young woman, Jenin Amr, a student at Al Khalil University who was arrested during the same raid, was kept in
administrative detention for a further 4 months, while her 3 friends were all released.
Jenin Muhammad Amr, 21, from Dura, south of Al Khalil was abducted on December 3, 2023, during a raid by zionist occupation forces on Al Khalil and its surrounding area. She's a student at Al Khalil University.
On November 25 2024, occupation renewed her administrative detention for a further 4 months. In total, the Zionist regime ordered 16 months of detention against Jenin, without charge or trial!
Free Jenin Amr, free them all! | 907 |
| 6 |  +5Alaa Saqr al-Arouri: Third woman from the Arouri family abducted by the occupation
On the 21st of November, Alaa Saqr Al-Arouri, from the town of Ramallah, occupied West Bank, was kidnapped by the occupation as she was leaving the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Alaa is the daughter of Fatima Al-Arouri, 47, and the niece of Dalal Al-Arouri, 52. They are the sisters of Saleh Al-Arouri, prominent leader of the Hamas Islamic Resistance Movement in the West Bank and outside Palestine.
Both women are imprisoned since 10 months ago, after they were kidnapped from their homes in Ramallah, during West Bank raids by invading US-sponsored Zionist occupation forces.
A few days before his sister's arrest, on January 2nd, Saleh Al-Arouri and 6 others were martyred by the occupation in a drone strike in a suburb of Beirut. A general strike was called in Ramallah for the next day, as people were mourning him.
Saleh had been deported from Palestine by the occupation in 2010 and, after many relocations, he settled in Lebanon in 2015.
Dalal Al Arouri is charged with "transferring money” to the Resistance “over the past two years, in addition to praising in media interviews the movement's fighters on October 7th, in the battle of Al-Aqsa Flood.
After her brother's martyrdom, right before being arrested, Dalal gave an interview in which she said: "There is a reason for everything. The assassination of Saleh will not deter the Palestinian people from their struggle and will not break the resistance. New leaders will emerge.", continuing with: "[...]his blood, like the blood of the rest of the martyrs, is not more precious than the blood of the people of Gaza."
Saleh Al-Arouri was a leader of the Hamas movement in the occupied West Bank and outside Palestine. He joined the Resistance in the 1980s and was imprisoned by occupation multiple times for his activities. First in 1990, in administrative detention until 1992, then re-arrested the same year and detained until 2007, when he was freed and then imprisoned again until his expulsion from Palestine in 2010.
In response to the threats to assassinate him, Saleh said: "[...] Our blood and souls are not more precious or more valued than any martyr. First and last, the martyr who preceded us is superior to us."
Freedom for Alaa, Fatima and Dalal al-Arouri, and all Palestinian prisoners in Zionist, imperialist, PA and reactionary prisons! | 7 552 |
| 7 |  +9Thank you to all those who sent their support to Khalida Jarrar, in solitary confinement for 108 days today, and to the students, activists, lawyers, journalists, nurses, academics and teachers incarcerated by the occupation.
In our linktree https://linktr.ee/dismantle_damon we have provided resources for your events in solidarity with Palestinian women prisoners, don't hesitate to use them! Let's continue mobilizing for the release of all Palestinian prisoners and all of Palestine! Free our Re-Sisters ! Free all Palestinian prisoners ! | 800 |
| 8 |  +9On November 25, on the occasion of International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, many organizations in Europe expressed their support and solidarity with the Palestinian women prisoners incarcerated in colonial prisons.
Our warmest thanks go to all the organizations and comrades who, at feminist demonstrations in Padova, Berlin, Grenoble, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Nantes, Paris, at events in Orléans and the Île de France, at university stands, at market information tables, etc., brandished the portraits and shouted the names of all Palestinian women prisoners to break a little more of the isolation that the occupation is trying to impose on them. | 838 |
| 9 |  🔴 Khalida Jarrar, Palestinian human rights activist, feminist, leftist and former member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, detained since December 26, has been held in solitary confinement in very harsh conditions for 100 days now, since August 12, in Neve Tirza prison. She is detained in a cell measuring only 2 meters by 1.5 meters, where the only available space is occupied by a mattress. The cell is completely closed, with no windows for ventilation or fresh air.
For 100 days, she feels a lack of oxygen and the inability to breathe, and it is still very hot in the cell during the day. She has requested at least paper and a pen to write, to stay aware and keep track of time, but none of these have been provided. Her isolation, like that of Marwan Barghouti, Abdallah Barghouti and other leaders of the prisoners' movement, is an attempt by the occupying forces to break the resistance of Palestinian prisoners in a decisive phase of the national liberation struggle.
Like her detention itself — she is jailed without charge or trial under administrative detention, alongside nearly 3500 of the 10,200 Palestinians imprisoned by the occupation regime — no reason or excuse has been proffered by the occupation authorities to justify her ongoing isolation. Her solitary confinement is just one illustration of the occupation's torture and aggression against Palestinian prisoners. We must mobilize to break the isolation that the occupation forces are trying to impose in the colonial prisons, in support of the Palestinian resistance and call for the immediate release of all Palestinian prisoners! | 7 618 |
| 10 |  🔴 Today marks 100 days of Khalida Jarrar's solitary confinement in the colonial prison of Ramleh under harsh conditions. On the occasion of the international day against gender and sexual violence on November 25, we call on all pro-Palestinian and feminist organizations to express their solidarity with Khalida Jarrar, and all Palestinian prisoners. Responding to the call of our comrade, liberated prisoner Salah Hamouri, let's show our support with demonstrations, banners, placards, letter-writing and all possible means. Solidarity with Palestinian prisoners!

| 11 |  Khitam Habaybeh is suffering in Damon prison
Prisoner Khitam Habaybeh from the town of Sanur, south of Jenin, suffers from difficult detention conditions like the rest of the Palestinian female prisoners in the occupation prisons. She is in her fifties and no information about her reaches her family, nor is there any means of communication between her and her family, which makes them miss her and think about her anxiously all the time.

| 13 |  +8For several days now, numerous testimonies have been shedding light on the conditions in which Palestinian women prisoners are being held in Damon prison. The Zionist regime recently appointed a new directorate to run the prison, which holds around 95 Palestinian women prisoners and hundreds of teenagers as young as 14.
The Colonial prison administration decided to confiscate all the things the women prisoners owned and needed for their daily lives. Clothes have been confiscated and replaced by a single grey outfit, and prisoners have been allowed to keep only one hijab. Some prisoners have had their shoes confiscated, and have to borrow those of their fellow prisoners in order to leave their cells. Sometimes they have to go barefoot to see their lawyer because there are no borrowable shoes in their cell. The guards have also confiscated the needles and threads they used to sew their clothes.
Like all Palestinian prisoners, the Palestinian women have been isolated from the rest of the world since October 7. All electrical appliances have been confiscated, they have no newspapers or radios, they receive news from outside through their lawyers when they can get a visit, or when a new prisoner is incarcerated.
Family visits are also forbidden, and they cannot canteen. The Zionist prison administration provides only the bare minimum of food, which is not enough, and a situation of starvation reigns in the colonial prisons, endangering the lives of the prisoners.
Prisoners were only allowed to keep one comb for an entire cell, which caused health problems. Many suffer from itching and fungus in their hair and skin. They are subject to a policy of deliberate medical negligence and have no access to necessary treatment when ill or injured.
The guards are violent and disrespectful towards the women prisoners, who suffer humiliation, systematic strip-searching, physical and psychological violence, etc. All objects owned by the women prisoners have been confiscated, and every effort is made to break down their resistance and collective organization.
Another way in which the colonial state tries to weaken the resistance of Palestinian women prisoners is to isolate their leaders from the rest of the prisoners. For example, Khalida Jarrar, Palestinian feminist activist, emblematic prisoner, academic and former member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, has been held in solitary confinement in very difficult conditions for over 95 days. She is held in a room measuring 2m by 1m50, with no ventilation, where she is forced to lie against the door to get a minimum of fresh air.
This isolation is a direct attack on the life of Khalida Jarrar, who suffers from several health problems. Khalida Jarrar is being targeted for the model of resistance she embodies, and for the political and revolutionary ideals she passes on to other Palestinian prisoners. Recently, Diala Ayesh and Bushra Al Taweel, two other well-known female prisoners, were transferred to solitary confinement for a few days under difficult conditions.
These repeated attacks are just one of the many illustrations of the violence, humiliation and treatment suffered by Palestinian prisoners in colonial prisons for over a year. The Zionist regime continues its genocide inside the prisons, with assaults, murders, starvation, a policy of deliberate medical negligence, sexual assaults, isolation, torture and more. Despite all this, the Palestinian prisoners continue to resist courageously, and we must extend our solidarity to break the isolation into which the occupation is trying to reduce them! | 201 |
| 14 |  🚨 Female prisoners are facing catastrophic conditions in "Damon" Prison, where 94 female prisoners are held, following the appointment of a new zionist prison director.
Female prisoners conveyed this information to the Prisoners' Commission lawyer:
Their abayas, hijabs, and niqabs were replaced with a "gray tracksuit" without a hijab, and they are subjected to random strip searches daily at dawn. They are detained for hours in the "yard." In the yard, or when going to the clinic or lawyer visits, the prisoners are forced to borrow shoes from each other.
Their simple belongings, such as empty plastic containers used as cups, are confiscated, as well as threads and needles used to repair torn clothes. The very last needle they owned was confiscated.
The female prisoners are also experiencing a shortage of cleaning supplies and blankets as winter approaches. Each only has one set of "summer clothes."
Two weeks ago, the Damon prison administration deliberately installed light switches outside the prisoners’ cells and canceled the internal switches, allowing the guards to control the lighting times at their discretion. Further, the Commission reported that the starvation policy adopted by the prison has led to hormonal changes and side effects among the prisoners. | 213 |

| 16 |  +5On 29 October 2024, Palestinian mother Murjana Hreash was sentenced to 11 months in occupation prisons for "incitement" — that is, posting on social media about the crimes of the occupation and the Palestinian struggle for freedom.
Palestinian mother Murjana Mohammed Mustafa Hreash, 32 years old, was abducted from her home in the Al-Masayef neighbourhood of occupied Ramallah, Palestine, by Zionist occupation forces at 2:30 am on the bitterly cold evening of 10 March 2024. She has since been held in Damon prison, kept away from her two beloved sons, Nasser (5 years old) and Mohammed (3).
Murjana is a graduate of Birzeit University with a degree in banking and finance, and a deeply devoted mother. Upon her son Nasser’s kindergarten graduation -- with Murjana, Umm Nasser, held in Zionist jails, her sister Salma recalled her saying: “I hope to be released before my son Nasser graduates from kindergarten. Take good care of him and follow up with him in every minute detail.“
Salma recalled Murjana’s motherly love, saying: “You have always been and will remain a symbol of the ideal mother. I remember very well how enthusiastic and meticulous you were when you were searching for a kindergarten for Nasser. How you stayed up all night teaching him to read Surahs from the Quran, how to perform ablution, and some of the hadiths of the Prophet.”
“Is there a mother like you, Umm Nasser?! You are the giving and affectionate mother, keen on the quality of food and the details of clothes for her children, persevering in teaching them morals and religion, always praying for them to be among the keepers of the Book of Allah, following up on the smallest details of how to raise them and improve their behavior.”
Murjana is being held captive by the occupation forces, deprived of her children, and sentenced to nearly a year in prison for “incitement” -- that is, speaking publicly or posting on social media about the crimes of the occupation and the Palestinian cause.
Freedom for Murjana Hreash, all Palestinian mothers, and all Palestinian prisoners! | 2 173 |
| 17 |  On 29 October 2024, Samah Hijjawi, a Palestinian prisoner liberated by the resistance in the November 2023 exchanges, was again ordered to 6 months imprisonment without charge or trial under Zionist "administrative detention." Samah was re-arrested by occupation forces that invaded her home on 7 October 2024.
At the time of her liberation, Samah was also held under administrative detention without charge or trial. There are currently approximately 3,500 Palestinians jailed under administrative detention out of over 10,000 Palestinian political prisoners, not counting Palestinians kidnapped from Gaza. Administrative detention orders — first introduced to Palestine by the British colonial mandate and then adopted by the Zionist regime — are indefinitely renewable, and Palestinians spend years at a time jailed with no evidence, no charges and no trial.
Samah was previously arrested on 17 May 2023 after being summoned for an interrogation with the occupation intelligence and an administrative detention order was issued against her for a period of 4 months. Just days before, on 11 May 2023, she had been summoned by the Palestinian Authority intelligence, which engages in “security coordination” with the occupation, for an interrogation about her social media posts.
Multiple Palestinian women liberated in the exchange have been re-arrested, including Hanan Barghouthi, Walaa Tanja, Dania Hanatsheh, Haneen Masaed, Aseel Samih Khader, and Yasmeen Shaaban (who was released hours later), while Nofouth Hammad was summoned for interrogation, and in the most recent attack, Fadwa Hamadeh was ordered to 2 years in prison over an incident where she defended a fellow prisoner from a jailer in 2020. All of these re-arrests come in direct violation of the prisoner exchange agreement.
Free Samah Hijjawi and all Palestinian prisoners! | 1 458 |
| 18 |  +9Palestinian mother and liberated prisoner, Fadwa Nazih Hamadeh, a Jerusalemite from Sur Baher, was ordered on 29 October by a colonial Zionist occupation court in Haifa to two additional years in prison -- nearly one year after she was liberated in the prisoner exchange with the Palestinian resistance. Despite the fact that this order is a clear violation of the exchange agreement, the occupation has continually sought to persecute Fadwa nearly immediately upon her release.
Fadwa, a mother of five (Hamadeh, Sadeen, Mohammed, Maryam and Ahmed), was first abducted by the occupation in August 2017, when she was accused of stabbing a Zionist soldier at Bab al-Amoud in Jerusalem. In order to pressure Fadwa, occupation forces also arrested her husband Munther, holding him for two weeks in an attempt to force Fadwa to confess. Nonetheless, she refused, and occupation courts eventually sentenced her to 20 years in prison and a fine of 30,000 NIS, which was eventually reduced to 10 years in prison.
During her imprisonment, Fadwa consistently stood up to defend her fellow Palestinian women. In June 2020, Fadwa stepped in to defend a fellow prisoner from a female prison guard who was attacking her, and was accused of assaulting her jailer. She was beaten, repeatedly held in solitary confinement for periods of 70, 30, 100 and 105 days, denied family visits with her husband and children, and subjected to medical neglect and abuse.
Fadwa rejected the attempts of the occupation to break her will by holding her in solitary confinement and denying her access to her beloved children. Her family posted stories on social media, chronicling the sadness of her children when once again denied family visits. She used her time in isolation to memorize the entire Holy Qur’an. At the same time, her husband Munther was interrogated by the occupation, banned from Al-Aqsa Mosque, banned from traveling for Umrah and detained on multiple occasions.
"Fadwa suffered from psychological pressure and great physical fatigue in prison, and despite this she did not shed a tear lest one of the prison guards see her and gloat. But the truth is, Fadwa's health has deteriorated recently, especially since her leg was broken several months ago and she underwent surgery, and hours later they returned her to prison in chains," Munther said in 2022. Despite her dire need for painkillers and medications, the prison administration refused to respond to these demands and instead deliberately put Fadwa in a room with Zionist criminal prisoners, who would make noise and deliberately seek to provoke Fadwa and prevent her from resting.
In 2021, the occupation submitted an additional five-count indictment against Fadwa, returned her to solitary confinement and once again imposed denial of family visits, accusing her of “assaulting” the jailer from whom she defended her fellow prisoner a year earlier. This case was still pending when she was liberated by the Palestinian resistance alongside fellow women prisoners, many of whom had pending cases at the time of their liberation.
On 11 December 2023, only weeks after her liberation and joyous reunion with her family, the occupation court in Haifa held a trial for her in absentia and summoned her to a future hearing on the allegations of assaulting a jailer. This is an obvious violation of the exchange agreement, as is the re-arrest of multiple released women prisoners, including Sameh Hijjawi, Hanan Barghouthi, Walaa Tanja, Dania Hanatsheh, Haneen Masaed, and Aseel Samih Khader.
Now, on 29 October 2024, the Haifa occupation court ordered Fadwa to an additional two years in prison, demanding she turn herself in on 17 November. Her lawyer has requested an additional delay in order to file an appeal in the case.
Throughout her imprisonment and now after her liberation, the occupation has repeatedly sought to persecute Fadwa and to break her will and commitment to defend justice, dignity and the land and people of Palestine, as well as to impose collective punishment on her entire family, her husband and children. | 1 549 |
| 19 |  +9Rula Hassaneen, from Ramallah and living in Bethlehem, is a journalist who was working as an editor for the Ramallah-based Watan Media Network at the time of her arrest on 19 March 2024.
On 29 October 2024 the occupation postponed her trial for a further 1,5 months to December 12th.
Rula and her husband Shadi have a now 16 months old daughter called Elia.
Rula is part of a very united and affectionate family. In a social media post, she writes about her mother:
“I take pride in my mother in front of everyone; she is a woman of character, faith, values, and principles, a source of goodness. My mother is an angel who made the eight of us her ambassadors. Wherever we are and whatever we do, we don't credit ourselves; instead, we say, 'This is our mother’s upbringing.'”
Rula Hassaneen was kidnapped on 19 March 2024 from her home in the village of Al-Ma'sara, southeast of Bethlehem. After raiding her house and confiscating her devices, occupation forces told her she was being arrested. She and her husband were kept away from their daughter during the whole raid and Rula was not allowed to hold her crying baby even one last time before being abducted.
Rula is a kidney patient in need of permanent and special care, which she does not receive in Damon prison.
Baby Elia also suffers from health problems due to the fact the she was born prematurely.
She is immuno-compromised and requires her mother’s breastfeeding to keep her health situation stable. After Rula’s arrest, Elia's vital activity started to decline, and she began to suffer from lethargy and refuse food. She initially recovered thanks to intravenous feeding and the care of her father, but now her condition is worsening again.
Rula's family appealed to all international organizations, human rights institutions and children's institutions they could, to fight to be able to save mother and daughter.
Her sister Hadeel never stops writing about her and campaigning for her release in the media.
The U.S.-based Committee to Protect Journalists also released a statement calling for her to be liberated on humanitarian grounds.
Like many others, Rula’s trial has been postponed multiple times since her arrest.
Since the 7th of October 2023, the occupation forces arrested more than 80 journalists, 5 of them women; 49 of them remain in Israeli custody until today. Imprisoning journalists is a known tactic that the Zionist entity uses to intimidate, hoping they will stop showing the truth to the world. But as always, every intimidation tactic is followed by the slow shattering of the entity, not of the truth.
In a piece from 2020, Rula Hassaneen speaks about the necessity of strengthening all aspects of life in Palestine, in order to be able to confront the occupation and fight against further colonization.
There are at least six women journalists held in Damon prison: Bushra al-Taweel, Rula Hassaneen, Amal Shujaiya, Rasha Herzallah, Sumaya Jawabreh, Israa Lafi.
Freedom for all Palestinian journalists — and all Palestinian prisoners — in Zionist jails! | 2 636 |
| 20 |  +9Fares Hazem Abu Kamel, 23, the son of liberated Palestinian prisoner Nisreen Abu Kamel, was martyred in Gaza on 17 October 2024, when ”israeli” warplanes targeted a house belonging to the Al-Halou family in the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood in Gaza as part of its genocidal bombing campaign. After Nisreen and her children were separated for six years, only reunified in 2021, Fares’s life was taken, alongside those of tens of thousands of Palestinians, by the genocidal Zionist assault on Gaza.
Nisreen Abu Kamel, married to her husband Hazem Abu Kamel and the mother of seven children, was abducted by the occupation on 15 October 2015. She was abducted from the “Erez” crossing after she had traveled to Haifa -- where she was born -- to visit her family. At the time of her arrest, her youngest son was only 8 months old and her older daughter just 11 years old.
The Zionist regime accused Nisreen of “espionage,” with the occupation intelligence claiming that she had filmed the Haifa port in order to gather information for the resistance. She was sentenced to 6 years in prison.
Hazem, her husband, said that he and his sons set a “calendar” for Nisreen’s last 100 days in prison, and every morning they marked off what had passed. “They were slow days, but they passed with all their bitterness, and now we are waiting for Nisreen to reunite us”.
During her six years in Zionist jails, Nisreen and her family were consistently denied visitation, like many Palestinian prisoners from Gaza. After her 2021 release, Nisreen was originally denied access to Gaza for multiple days, even as her husband, children and loved ones awaited her. Image 5 above depicts the moment her daughters saw their mother for the first time in 6 years.
Nisreen and Hazem lived in Gaza for the entire 20 years of their marriage until her arrest. When the occupation initially refused to allow her to return to her family, Nisreen said: “I have been married in Gaza for 20 years, and I have the right to go back to my home and be reunited with my husband and children… I waited for the days and counted the hours until I returned to them.”
Nisreen affirmed her complete rejection of the occupation's decision, declaring that she would sit in front of the Beit Hanoun “Erez” crossing, which leads to the Gaza Strip, until she would be allowed to return to her family.
The next day, Nisreen returned to Haifa, where she was greeted by activists of the “Haifa Movement” and Tala’at, a women’s movement. They all sang Palestinian national songs and chanted “Nisreen, we are with you… Freedom is yours.”
Nisreen’s return to her family and loved ones in Gaza was joyous and celebrated as a victory for the Palestinian people. She said: "I say to the occupation, I entered Gaza in spite of you and broke your power, and I salute the resistance that stood with the prisoners at all times."
Upon her release, Nisreen carried a message from the Palestinian women prisoners, urging support for them against the mechanisms of “israeli“ persecution they face on a daily basis. She urged that the women prisoners be included in any future prisoner exchange with the resistance, calling for an escalation of the popular struggle to support them. During her time in prison, 3 women prisoners, Mona Qa’adan, Shatila Abu Ayad and Amal Abu Kattah started a hunger strike in protest of the deliberate medical negligence practiced routinely against the prisoners, which also affected Nisreen.
Our deepest condolences to Nisreen and Hazem Abu Kamel, their family, and the Palestinian people, on the martyrdom of their beloved Fares. | 2 615 |
