Palestinian Prisoners’ Day is commemorated every year on April 17 – a date approved by the Palestinian National Council in 1974 as a national day dedicated to the freedom of prisoners and support for their rights.
According to Addameer, Israel has over 9,500 Palestinian political prisoners. 3,405 prisoners are in administrative detention and 350 of them are children.
Here in the U.S., President Trump ordered ICE to detain Palestinian activist Mamoud Khalil. Khalil is a Columbia University student who led protests against the U.S./Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. With no legal due process, Khalil is now a political prisoner held in an ICE prison in rural Louisiana.
