More than 60 civil society organizations in Palestine issued a statement demanding the immediate release of detained Global Sumud Flotilla activists, reiterating their appreciation of the flotilla campaign, and calling for more solidarity action. The statement is deeply valued by campaigners seeking to free Palestine. It is reminiscent of the encouragement of international solidarity offered by the African National Congress and its allies when they were seeking to abolish apartheid in South Africa. The South Africans valued the solidarity actions on college campuses and by religious, civil rights, and legal organizations, unions, and activist employees of corporations doing business in apartheid South Africa as crucial to isolating that apartheid regime.

The Doctors And Medical Staff From Gaza Still Held In Israel’s Prisons

For the last 16 months, campaigners around the world have, understandably, been highlighting the case of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the brave director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza, who kept the hospital operational for three months, from October to December 2024, when it was besieged and attacked remorselessly by Israeli forces during what was known as “the Generals’ Plan.” This was the “genocide within a genocide”, when the whole of northern Gaza was placed under a violent siege, and everyone still living there, who had failed to cooperate with previous evacuation orders — either because they were unwilling or unable to leave — was told in no uncertain terms that, if they stayed, they would be regarded as “enemy combatants” who could be summarily executed.

Marmaris, Türkiye — In its ongoing effort to break israel’s illegal siege of Gaza, the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) announces it will convene an International Assembly in Marmaris, Türkiye on May 9th and 10th, followed by a press conference on May 11th.

Between Saturday January 10 and Monday January 12, an impressive 18 vigils for the closure of the “war on terror” prison at Guantánamo Bay took place across the US and around the world, marking the 24th anniversary of the opening of the prison, with a 19th taking place on January 15. Eleven of these vigils were by campaigners who have been taking part in the monthly coordinated “First Wednesday” global vigils that I initiated three years ago, and that have been taking place every month ever since. Seven of these are at locations in the US — outside the White House in Washington, D.C., in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit, Cobleskill, NY, and Portland, OR — while the other four are in London, Brussels and Mexico City, with former Guantánamo prisoner Mansoor Adayfi holding a solo vigil in Belgrade.

The Palestinian Forum in Britain (PFB) has announced the launch of a new solidarity campaign calling for the release of Dr Hossam Abu Safiya and all Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli occupation prisons. The campaign will take the form of a calm, symbolic action titled the “Red Ribbons Campaign”, to be held on Saturday 20 December at Oxford Circus in central London, at 1:00 pm. The Forum explained that the event is neither a demonstration nor a protest march, but a silent, peaceful act of solidarity. Participants will hang red ribbons and display specially designed posters carrying clear demands for freedom and justice, conveying a humanitarian message to British and international public opinion about the suffering of Palestinian prisoners.

Building Pathways For Workers With Criminal Records

December 18, 2025 Maya Ragsdale, Labor Notes. Organize! Jobs, Prisoners, Temporary Workers, Unions

During a factory organizing drive, the Steelworkers in Chester, South Carolina, saw how criminal legal barriers were undermining its organizing efforts. Many of the workers had felony records and were afraid of losing their jobs, while others in the community were barred from getting these jobs in the first place. So the union established a worker center, the Chester Worker Empowerment Center, that now provides record-sealing and expungement support, among other offerings. Unions like this one are beginning to recognize that there is no path to transforming the conditions of work in this country without addressing the impacts of incarceration.

Hamas Hands Over All Living Israeli Captives

October 13, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Israel, Palestine, Peace, Prisoners

All living Israeli captives were released by Hamas on 13 October and have returned to Israel as part of the ceasefire agreement’s exchange formula. The 20 living captives were handed over to the Red Cross before being returned to Israel by the Israeli military. The Israeli army confirmed the final 13 captives were handed over, after initially receiving seven. The captives have been taken to hospitals for checkups and to meet their family members. The coming hours will also see the resistance release the bodies of deceased Israeli captives. Meanwhile, Israel is releasing a total of 1,966 Palestinian prisoners. Buses carrying prisoners have already begun departing from Israel’s Ofer prison in the occupied West Bank, with some having arrived in Ramallah – one of the drop-off points.

The newly announced ceasefire agreement, which was reached by mediators overnight, is set to take effect in Gaza on 9 October. Phase one of US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan will begin in the coming hours and days. According to Israel’s Channel 14, the signing of the agreement will be followed by Israeli cabinet and government meetings to ratify the deal. The Israeli army will then carry out its first withdrawal from Gaza’s population centers, in line with the agreement’s withdrawal map. Twenty living Israeli captives will be released following 72 hours. In exchange, Tel Aviv is required to release 250 prisoners serving life sentences and 1,700 Palestinians detained from Gaza since 7 October 2023.

Chris Hedges: American Concentration Camps

Our offshore concentration camps, for now, are in El Salvador and Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. But don’t expect them to remain there. Once they are normalized, not only for U.S.-deported immigrants and residents, but U.S. citizens, they will migrate to the homeland. It is a very short leap from our prisons, already rife with abuse and mistreatment, to concentration camps, where those held are cut off from the outside world — “disappeared” — denied legal representation and crammed into fetid, overcrowded cells. Prisoners in the camps in El Salvador are forced to sleep on the floor or in solitary confinement in the dark. Many suffer from tuberculosis, fungal infections, scabies, severe malnutrition and chronic digestive illnesses.

There Is No Evidence Hamas Killed Members Of The Bibas Family

February 24, 2025 Jonathan Ofir, Mondoweiss. Educate! Hamas, Israel, Palestine, Prisoners, Wars and Militarism

Ever since the October 7 attack on Israel, there was one Israeli family that became the focus of apologists as so-called proof of Hamas being “human animals” in order to legitimize the Israeli genocide. That family is the Bibas family. Its four members, father Yarden, mother Shiri, and the two small children, 4-year-old Ariel and 9-month-old Kfir, were taken hostage on October 7 at kibbutz Nir Oz. The mother and two children were reportedly held separately from the father by the Mujahideen Brigades (an offshoot of the mainstream Fatah movement). In late November 2023, Hamas claimed that the mother and the two children had been killed together with their captors under Israeli bombing, and offered to hand over their bodies.

This Black-Owned Bank Is Disrupting Recidivism

For 21 years, Halim Flowers was incarcerated in prisons across the country, often spending his time reading books about economics, banking and finance. It wasn’t until 2018, during his last few months in the D.C. Department of Corrections, that 44-year-old Flowers was able to validate what he was learning, meet bankers from D.C. based-Industrial Bank, and open a savings account from prison with one of the only banks in the country offering services to incarcerated people. “They were good teachers. They humanized us as incarcerated people,” says Flowers, who is now an artist, author and runs his own fashion brand.

The handover of three Israeli captives and five Thai nationals to the Red Cross began today in Gaza following the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, marking the third batch of captives to be handed over since the ceasefire took effect on January 19. In accordance with the terms of the deal, the Israeli captives were exchanged for over 110 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, including those sentenced to life in prison or serving long sentences. The handover took place today in two different locations — in Jabalia in north Gaza, and Khan Younis in the south. The Israeli captives were Agam Berger, Arbel Yehoud, and Gadi Moses.

Israel and Hamas agreed to extend a pause in hostilities in Gaza for two more days, Qatar’s foreign ministry announced on Monday. The initial four-day pause was set to end on Monday night. Hamas politburo member Khalil al-Hayya said that the group hoped the truce could be extended for a longer period and that Israelis held in Gaza would continue to be exchanged for Palestinians held by Israel. Al-Hayya added that Hamas wanted more aid to reach northern Gaza after “negligence and delay” over the past few days. Since the pause began, Hamas has released 69 people captured during its surprise 7 October attack, during which some 1,200 people were killed. Around 240 people were reportedly captured and taken to Gaza that day.

The political leader of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, highlighted the efforts of several Arab countries, as well as Russia and China, behind the truce in Gaza Strip. “We reaffirm the importance of the efforts of Arab and Islamic countries, as well as friendly states like Russia and China, to help our people fulfill their aspirations for freedom, return, and independence,” Haniyeh said on Friday, November 24, in a short video posted on social media. The Hamas leader also thanked Egypt and Qatar for their mediation efforts in the truce agreement, underlining the Palestinian movement’s willingness to work with Cairo and Doha to “achieve a full cessation of aggression against Gaza.”

Costs Of Occupation And Blockade: Destruction Of The Gaza Ghetto

October 29, 2023 Col. (ret.) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. Educate! Blockade, Gaza, Israeli Occupation, Prisoners

I deplore the killings done by Hamas on October 7 in which 1100 Israelis and 328 from other nations died. And I deplore the massive retaliation and revenge that the State of Israel is wrecking as collective punishment on the civilians in Gaza in the name of destroying Hamas. Over 8,000 Palestinians, including over 3000 children, have now been killed in the three weeks of massive air and artillery attacks on Gaza and over 20,000 have been injured with hundreds, if not thousands, missing under rubble. As documented in Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center located in Jerusalem, in November 1940, 380,000 Jews were sealed inside the Warsaw ghetto.
