Dans le cadre des Rendez-vous de la Maison Norman Bethune:
Une soirée de solidarité avec la lutte des prisonnières et prisonniers

Qu’ils ou elles aient été emprisonnéEs pour des motifs politiques ou parce qu’on les considère comme des «criminelLEs de droit commun», les prisons sont rempliEs de pauvres, de prolétaires et de personnes racialisées. Les prisons symbolisent le caractère de classe de l’État bourgeois, pour qui elles représentent un puissant moyen de coercition et de destruction de la volonté populaire. La lutte pour défendre les prisonnières et prisonniers et pour abolir le système carcéral est au cœur du combat pour mettre fin à l’exploitation et à l’oppression capitalistes.

Au programme:
• Présentation de l’édition 2012 du calendrier Certain Days: The 2012 Freedom for Political Prisoners Calendar (disponible sur place au coût de 12$).
• Mise à jour sur la lutte des prisonniers en Californie.
• Présentation de COINTELPRO 101 – un documentaire sur la surveillance illégale, les perturbations et les assassinats perpétrés par le gouvernement états-unien dans les années 1950, 1960 et 1970.

Mise à jour sur la lutte des prisonniers en Palestine

Palestinian political prisoners are on hunger strikes now in prisons both in Israel and in the West Bank  and I would like to do a Mise à jour on this, which needs global support. Its been ongoing for over 20 days.

Can I come and do that as part of this program? Below is some info about the acute situation of the courageous hunger strikers.

Saadat Moved To Al Ramla Prison Hospital

author Monday October 17, 2011 02:54author by Saed Bannoura - IMEMC & Agencies Report post

Palestinian Minister of Detainees, Issa Qaraqe', stated that detained Secretary-General of the leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Ahmad Saadat, was moved to the Al Ramla Prison hospital due to health complications following 20 days of hunger strikes.

Qaraqe' demanded the Red Cross to visit Saadat and to ensure he receives the needed medical attention, especially since Israeli prison hospitals, treating Palestinian detainees, are basically clinics that lack the basic medications.

Qaraqe' also called on all Human Rights groups to practice pressure on Israel to abide by the International Law, and to grant the hunger-striking detainees their legitimate rights, starting with removing all detainees from solitary confinement, and stopping the assaults against them and against their families.

Saadat is also an elected Legislator and one of the well-known leaders of the Palestinian struggle against the Israeli occupation.
