The Palestinian Prisoners' Movement

PRISONERS ARE THE COMPASS OF OUR STRUGGLE. In the third episode of Popular Cradle, Yara, Rhiannon, and Mohammed delve into the history of the Palestinian prisoners' movement, and how Palestinian prisoners made the occupation prison a site of revolutionary struggle. From the tactics used by prisoners to resist the repression and cruelty imposed on them, to the prisoner exchanges negotiated outside prison walls, to the leadership of Palestinian prisoners in Palestinian politics broadly, our prisoners are invaluable, unbreakable contributors to--and models of--the struggle for national liberation.
