Samer al-Issawi is a Palestinian political prisoner from ‘Issawiyeh (Jerusalem), who has been on a hunger strike in Israel’s prison for more then 200 days. Although released in a prisoner-swap deal in October 2011, Israel re-arrested Samer claiming he violated the terms of his release by leaving Jerusalem even though the place of his arrest was Hizmeh, which is within the Jerusalem municipal boundaries. Samer has been hunger striking since July 29, 2012, and according to recent reports his health has been fast deteriorating, putting his life in danger. Joining solidarity demonstrations in Palestine and all over the world, a group of Jaffa-based activists began a daily vigil in solidarity with Samer ‘Issawi and all political prisoners at clock tower square, a famed local landmark. Protesters, both Palestinian and Jews, attended the second vigil, calling for the release of ‘Issawi and all political prisoners, as well as putting an end to administrative detention as an illegal punitive measure by the state.

Please join us every Thursday at 6p, Jaffa’s clock tower square for a vigil in solidarity with Samer ‘Issawi and the Palestinian political prisoners.
