When: Thursday, May 25th, at 12 Noon
Where: Federal Plaza, 230 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, IL
Over 1,800 Palestinian political prisoners have entered their 37th day of an open ended hunger strike, and their lives are in danger! Join USPCN-Chicago and friends for a lunchtime picket on Thursday, May 25th, at 12 Noon, at Federal Plaza (230 S. Dearborn St.) in downtown Chicago, to demand that our U.S. Senators take action to pressure Israel to meet the demands of the strikers.
There are 6,300 Palestinian political prisoners currently in Israeli jails, including more than 500 held under administrative detention, which is an Israeli policy of imprisoning Palestinians for months without formal charge. In response to routine violations of their basic human and civil rights as prisoners, the Palestinians launched their hunger strike over 5 weeks ago, demanding the restoration of regular family visits, an end to torturous solitary confinement, an end to administrative detention, the strengthening of medical care, and access to education–all rights enshrined under international law.
The corporate media and our legislative representatives have been silent on the issue, with only one of the 535 members of the U.S. Congress, Danny Davis (http://uspcn.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=0ce8bf015c0d49d11d99fdefb&id=1b992f6091&e=266d74dd41), having made any kind of official statement.
So join USPCN-Chicago on Thursday, May 25th, for a lunchtime picket and rally demanding that the U.S. Senators from Illinois, Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth, take a clear stand in support of human rights for the Palestinian hunger strikers.
* In addition, coalitions that USPCN participate in will be meeting this week with Congresswoman Barbara Lee in California and Congressman John Conyers in Michigan. More updates to come!
