Aufruf des Familienkomitees der palästinensischen Gefangenen

Seit dem 15.08.04 sind mehr als 1.500 palästinensische Gefangenen in Isreaels Gefängnissen in den Hungerstreik getreten. In den nächsten Tagen wird sich ein Großteil der ca. 7.500 Gefangenen diesem Hungerstreik anschließen. Schon vor Beginn hatte das Komitee der Familienangehörigen zu Solidarität und einen internationalen Aktionstag, dem 04.09.04 aufgerufen. (Deutsche Fassung) -> Der Aufruf vom 04.08.04 in englisch.
Please Join us in Support of the Prisoners and Their Families!
International Day of Action September 4, Saturday
Deutsche Fassung
Friends,
Palestinian Political Prisoners in Israeli prisons are subjected to inhumane conditions in violation of Israeli and International Law.
7,500 political Palestinian prisoners currently in Israeli prisons will begin a hunger strike in the second half of August to protest the following violations of their rights and to demand that Israel follow the rule of law in regard to the treatment of prisoners.
The Committee for Families asks you also to organize a day of international solidarity with Palestinian prisoners on:
September 4, Saturday
Contact the Israeli Government in protest of the violation of international law and basic human rights! Support our demands to be treated humanely!
The Demands of the Prisoners and their Families:
1. Demand that prison guards immediately cease beating prisoners in their cells, the courtyards and during transport between prisons. Demand that prison guards immediately cease shooting tear gas into prisoner's cells, into the courtyards and during transport between prisons. Demand that prison guards immediately cease entering prison cells with guns for the purpose of intimidating the prisoners.
2. Demand that the practice of subjecting prisoners to full body searches each time they enter or exit their cells cease immediately.
3. Demand an immediate cessation of the practice of keeping prisoners in solitary confinement for long periods of time, sometimes months or even years .
4. Demand that the practice of confiscating money from prisoners, revocation of visitations, and extended confinement to cells as punishment for 'crimes' such as singing or speaking too loudly cease immediately.
5. Demand that ill prisoners be given access to adequate medical treatment and that the withholding of necessary medications cease immediately.
6. Demand that all prisoners be allowed family visitation. Further demand that travel to/from the prison for families of prisoners be expedited. Currently families must travel 16 or 17 hours to for a 45 minute visit even if the distance is a few kilometers. Demand that the strip searching of families as a routine practice cease and that prisoners be allowed more than one visitor every two weeks.
7. Demand that the communication system between prisoners and families during visits improve. Currently prisoners are separated from visitors by two walls, one of glass and one of metal mesh that are difficult to see through and nearly impossible to hear through.
8. Demand that prisoner's diets be adequate to sustain health.
9. Demand that rules on items that prisoners can receive from families be consistent from visit to visit and not changing on the whim of the guard.
10. Demand that child prisoners be housed separately from adult prisoners and that there be separation of political and criminal prisoners.
These conditions violate Israeli law, regulations of Israeli prisons and international law.
The Families of Palestinian Political Prisoners request that you join in solidarity with our sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters and help bring pressure on the State of Israel to cease these violations of law and to treat Palestinian prisoners humanely.
We ask you to assist us in this campaign by sending letters, faxes, emails, or by telephoning the Israeli government to protest the treatment of Palestinian political prisoners and to demand that the demands of the striking prisoners be met.
Please copy any communication of protest and support to the Committee for Families (you will find addresses below). It is very important for prisoners and their families to know about the international solidarity with this important action.
Please invite your associations, democratic organizations and friends to join us in this demand for our rights!
With Peace,
Families of Palestinian Political Prisoners
