Photographs from last Friday’s protest marking Palestinian Prisoners’ Day in Newtown on Gadigal and Wangal Lands in Sydney’s inner west, commemorating the incarceration of nearly 10,000 Palestinian men, women and children currently held in Israeli prison camps.
Every year on April 17th, Palestinian Prisoner’s Day is held on the date that Mahmoud Bakr Hejazi was released in the first prisoner exchange between Israel and Palestine in 1971.
This year is especially significant as calls grow louder for the repeal of Israel’s new execution laws which specifically target Palestinians.
