inminds 10 April 2013
As part of Palestinian Prisoners Day commemoration we will be protesting outside G4S HQ in London on Friday 19th April from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, please join us.
Protest outside G4S HQ,
105 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QT
Friday 19th April 4:30pm - 6:30pm
British-Danish security firm G4S has along history of working hand in hand with the Israeli Prison Service to help secure its prisons and interrogation centres where Palestinian political prisoners, including children, are tortured and caged.
Just last month on 23rd February Arafat Jaradat, a Palestinian father of two, was tortured to death in G4S secured facilities - he died in Megiddo prison following several days of torture in al-Jalame interrogation centre. At Megiddo the whole central command room is provided by G4S, which also provides security systems for the notorious al-Jalame interrogation centre in northern Israel with its infamous Cell 36 where Defence for Children International reported children are locked in small filthy cells in solitary confinement, some for 65 days, with their only escape being the interrogation room where they are shackled by their hands and feet to a chair whilst being abused, sometimes for hours.
Administrative detainees, who are held indefinitely without charge or trial, are also caged in G4S secured prisons such as Ofer in the occupied territory where G4S provides the perimeter defense system and the central command control room for the entire facility. Addameer the Palestinian prisoners support group in Palestine has requested that activists around the world campaign and expose this inhumane practice of Administrative detention as part of this years Palestinian Prisoners Day activities.
Former prisoner Shireen Issawi, the sister of the hunger striker Samer Issawi who himself was was held in Ofer prison before being moved to hospital as his health deteriorated has asked activists to "Deliver the voice of the oppressed prisoners and hold this company G4S accountable for its responsibility towards these risoners and its partnership to the occupation in its inhumane practices. It must stop providing these supplies to the occupation... Freedom for our prisoners; for our heroes"
Please join us on 19th April to deliver this 'voice of the oppressed prisoners' to G4S.
Please note that there is also a separate protest organised by PSC on 17th April outside G4S at 4:30pm which we also recommend people to attend - it all adds pressure on G4S, and thereby Israel.

Featured MP3 Podcast "[Deportation at the airport] We saw the injured [Turkish] men going through.. a lot had a leg cut out of their trousers or an arm cut out of their top. It had been cut out to treat their wounds.. they were covered in blood, blood that had been there for three days, and some of them had wounds that were still bleeding.. What upset me most was seeing the dozen men, one after another, hobbling across the terminal, with a bandaged foot. I couldn't ask them why so many of them had a bandaged foot, I couldn't ask them what had happened, because if they spoke or if any of us spoke to them the Israelis beat the injured person.. We later found out that they had these injuries on the tops of their feet from when the troops came down from the helicopter on the Mavi Marmara, and they came down firing - they had been shot from above. Some of the men that were killed were shot at close range - head and chest, but a dozen of the men who were shot, among 59 people who were shot, they were shot at the tops of their feet - the bullets were coming down.. They weren't given a wheelchair or a pair of crutches, and if any of the other passengers stood up and tried to offer [help].. that person was dragged away and smacked by these Israelis. The Israeli soldiers sat on the floor, laughed and sniggered and made every one of these Turkish men hobble and hop all the way across, some 200 metres, everyone of them, one by one, made to do that purely for the sick amusement of the Israeli soldiers."
