Palestinian prisoners step up revolt against Israeli repression

As reported previously, one of the features of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands is the ongoing imprisonment of thousands of Palestinians, often without trial. In a number of Israeli prisons, Palestinian prisoners are undertaking mass civil disobedience to protest against their imprisonment and the illegal occupation. Around the world, solidarity actions and events have been undertaken to support these actions. In addition, there is a growing call to boycott one of the companies involved in the prison system, G4S, a global company that specialises in security, prisons and repression.
