#Free Ahmad manasra

[nabulsi]

🐑 Eid Adha Mubarak! 🐑

And please remember that there are countless palestinians spending this Eid in Israeli prison without trial or charges. They are being tortured and are not allowed to see their families.

#FreeKhalil #FreeRaad #FreeAhmadManasra #FreeIsraa

#FreeThemAll

Please remember that during Muslim holidays the occupation escalates their violence against Palestinians. Please keep the Gazans in your thoughts this Eid.

Please remember the family of 17 year old Kamel Alawneh, who was shot by occupation forces last week. His older brother was also martyred nearly 2 decades earlier. Their family will spend this Eid in mourning.

Please keep them in your thoughts this Eid and follow accounts like @/lbkhun on Instagram and @/palestinecapti1, @/m7mdkurd, @/timesofgaza... and other Palestinian sources of information.

Spread the word and don't stop talking about Palestine because Israeli terror does not rest

no freedom is justified until ahmad manasra is free.

[soon-palestine]

in 2015 he was only 13 years old.

Ahmad Manasra has been held in prolonged solitary confinement since the beginning of November 2021, in violation of the absolute prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment. The Israel Prison Service asked to renew Ahmad’s solitary confinement for a further six months on 17 April 2022. A hearing that was scheduled to be held on 15 June 2022 with regards to his solitary confinement was postponed to a later date. Ahmad Manasra’s mental health worsened during his incarceration. In October 2021 an independent Israeli clinical psychologist working with Physicians for Human Rights – Israel (PHRI) diagnosed him with severe psychiatric conditions, and stated these had developed since his incarceration. Ahmad Manasra’s parents said in February 2022 that their son had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, is suffering from psychotic delusions, and is severely depressed with suicidal thoughts. His lawyer, Khaled Zabarqa, told Amnesty International: “We have asked the Israel Prison Service to release Ahmad into home and community care as a matter of urgency because there is a real danger to his life. The prison doctors themselves recognized as much in their report on 13 June which led to his transfer from the prison cell to the prison hospital.”

It's important to recognise that what's happening in Palestine, what we are witnessing and what people are experiencing, are not isolated to Palestine.

You may hear people talk about the war in Sudan, the silent holocaust in Congo.

It's because these and so many more atrocities in the world are linked. They are preperuated by the same systems.

[Video Transcript:

So as a Palestinian when I say Free Palestine, I am not just talking about Palestine. I started nursing school in 2015 at Saint Louis, just a few miles away from where Michael Brown was killed by police.

Being in that city at that time, watching Black Lives Matter being born, stirred up a lot of feelings for me as a Palestinian.

I saw a country justifying a child being murdered by the state, in the street. I saw the people protesting that murder being vilified.

Standing there, protesting, watching a militarised police force with tear gas and rubber bullets matching towards me.

And I thought, this is that.

As a Palestinian to understand what is going on in Palestine is to understand the de facto aphartied that black Americans experience here in the states.

It's not an accident that when my grandfather came here, he was told to sit and the back of the bus. And it's not an accident that he marched with MLK.

It has been black and Palestinian solidarity, and it continues to be black and Palestinian solidarity.

Because yes, Free Palestine is about Palestine ceasefire now and the military occupation of the Palestinian people. It's also about resisting the global colonial hegemonic structure.

Because the shit happening there is happening here. If it isn't Palestinian women and babies being killed by bombs in Gaza, it's black women and babies being killed in American hospitals.

If its not Palestinian girls missing in the rubble. It is missing and murdered indigenous women here in the United States.

The rage I feel when I hear the names Michael Brown and Treyvon Martin is the same rage I feel when I hear the names Shireen Abu Akleh and Ahmad Manasra.

That's not to say that allyship is transactional, it is to say that the only thing we have is each other.

There's a reason that when people ask me about Free Palestine, I will point them to books on Black Lives matter.

When I say Free Palestine, yes I mean Free Palestine but I also mean Black Lives Matter, I also mean abolition now. I also mean reparations, I also mean land back.

This movement cannot lose steam, not just because there is currently a genocide being perpetuated against my people. And every minute we don't do something Palestinian lives are being lost.

But because this is a global struggle for justice. It does not start and end with Palestine, we will not be free until all of us are free.

The world is waking up, there has never been global solidarity for Palestine like this.

And we have them so scared. The violence is so disproportional because we are challenging a global power structure. Don't let the momentum die because this is about all of us.

Ceasefire now.

End the occupation.

But know what I mean when I say, Free Palestine.

I wrote about Ahmed Manasra only a short while ago here, only to find out today that the IOF has no intention of releasing him during any hostage exchanges because he is no 'longer a child,' to paraphrase. This was the original post and I have an update below (tw: torture).

Another young man who was released recently had shared a room with Ahmed and revealed incredibly disturbing details about how Ahmed and may others like him are treated while imprisoned with serious medical conditions (while we know how evil and violent the IOF are, this continues to be beyond acts of cruelty -it is torture and inhumane) -the way imprisoned Palestinian people are continually kept in this horrendous state further proves that they want them to perish, and it sickens me. I have attached the interview below:

I have also transcribed the English subtitles that were available on this video [12/01/23]: Ahmad Manasra. He was in my room. They tortured him, beat him, yelled at him, gave him medicine. The situation is very difficult. Interviewer: Do you have details or information about Ahmad Manasra? No, he didn't die. But they tortured him a lot. Interviewer: How? They tortured him a lot. He was in my room. Interviewer: Did you see this with your own eyes? Yes, I saw this with my own eyes. Interviewer: What happened to him? He used to call the doctor. The doctor didn't answer. This is a problem for all prisoners. Someone like Ahmad Manasra needs to see the doctor. There is no answer. The medicine was delivered late. After a long time. Ahmad Manasra was in a very difficult situation. God bless him. Interviewer: Why was Ahmad Manasra targeted in this way? He wasn't Ahmad Manasra (I believe he was referring to his physically state here? And that he's not the only one, as he articulates next). No, he was in a very difficult situation. We saw this with all the prisoners. God bless him

Ahmed's story is one of the many Palestinian CHILDREN captured, detained, and imprisoned by the IOF.

About Ahmed -when he first entered the criminal court at the age of 12 he couldn't recall why he was being charged because the IOF had beat him so badly -and he also watched his cousin being murdered by the IOF. It was reported that his eyesight has gotten extremely worse over time while in solitary confinement.

We are not free until we all are -and I hope, I continue to hope for Ahmed's release so he can go home to his loved one's. I hope more international pressure brings the thousands of Palestinians home. This is just beyond ENOUGH.

End the violent occupation and free Palestine!

Ahmad Manasra once asked his lawyer if it was haram (forbidden) to commit s*icide.

Don’t forget about him. Free Ahmad Manasra and every man, woman and child like him.

After Israa is finally free, may Ahmad Manasra be free soon too, inshaAllah.

[fafi-shal]

Isreal is the only country in world which prosecuted children in military courts.

Ahmad Manasra has been detained in Isreali military prison since the age of 13, and subjected to a psychologicaly torturing investigation (TW: the video shows an officer continuously yelling at Ahmed to make him confess while Ahemd is visibly terrified, he is begging that he can't remember and hitting himself over the head.)

This photo was taken today in the retrial (no updates till now,)

Ahmad has grown in prison, he is suffering from severe mental health issues, his childhood was stolen by this apartheid inhumane occupation.
