LIVES SPENT BEHIND OCCUPIERS' BARS: WALID MASALMA AND RAED AL-SAADI
WALID MASALMA
Political prisoner Walid Masalma's(41) hunger-strike got relatively little attention and support.
It lasted 38 days from July 18th onwards and he suspended it on August 24th after Israeli occupation's prison services made a deal that would see him moved out from solitary confinement after three more months.
Walid Masalma has been imprisoned in a bug-infested solitary cell since October 26th when he was among group of political prisoners who opened an unlocked window in Israeli occupation's Eshel prison.
Masalma, from Beit Awwa has been a captiove of the Israeli occupation from 2001 or 2002 according to different sources. He was sentenced to life imprisonment
Masalma is another Palestinian whose best years have been lost as a result of Israeli oppression. 458 Palestinian political prisoners are currently imprisoned for life by occupier Israel.
RAED AL-SAADI
30 Palestinian political prisoners currently imprisoned by Israel have been captives for over 23 years, among them is Raed Muhammad al-Saadi(49), who has been captive of Israel since August 28th 1989.
According to the Israeli occupation, al-Saadi took part in armed resistance during the First Intifada. He is from the Jenin district village of Silat al-Harithiya.
We can compare the treatment of Palestinian political prisoners to Nazi war criminals, of which only one(1) spent more than twenty years in prison.
To Israel and the 'West' supporting it opposing the occupation of what remains of Palestinian's lands appears to be a greater crime than participation in the genocide of Jews, Roma and other victims of the Nazis and their collaborators.
