We need you to take action TODAY to free Walid Daqqah! Click here to send an email in seconds calling on international actors to take action on Walid’s behalf! (bit.ly/FREE-WALID-DAQQAH)
Walid Daqqah is a Palestinian writer and organizer who has been in Zionists prisons since 1986, making him one of one of the longest-held political prisoners in Zionist detention. Last year, Daqqah was diagnosed with Myelofibrosis, a rare form of bone marrow cancer that disrupts the body’s normal production of blood cells. Israel refuses to release Walid Daqqah or provide him access to life-saving medicine and treatment which has led to increased deterioration in his health. Earlier this year, Daqqah underwent surgery to remove part of his lung. He was briefly placed in intensive care, but then Zionist authorities quickly transferred him back to his prison clinic, again denying him proper treatment. The Zionist occupation is killing Daqqah through deliberate medical negligence. We are calling on international actors like the United Nations and International Committee for the Red Cross to take action! Walid’s fate is in our hands. Send an email expressing your concern for Walid’s condition today.
Our three key demands for this campaign are:
1. The immediate release of Walid Daqqah,
2. Providing Walid Daqqah with urgent life saving medical care, and
3. Granting his family visitation rights.
Political Prisoners are the compass of our struggle, as they are at the forefront of resistance to zionism and imperialism. For this reason, we center the prisoners’ struggle in our national liberation movement and we fight along their side. We know that the liberation of our land depends on the freedom of Walid Daqqah, along with all political prisoners.
We ask that you join our campaign to free Walid Daqqah by getting involved in this week of action through:
- Continuing to circulate this petition calling on international actors to take action
- Share this mass email action with your members and networks on social media or through your listserv.
- Share PYM’s social media content. We will be updating our social media pages with information about Walid Daqqah’s case and actions that are being organized and ask that you share it.
We hope to see you join us in pressuring the Zionist entity to comply with our demands for the immediate release of Walid!
Until Liberation,
Meriam PYM Detroit Chapter
