Jamal Juma', coordinator of War on Want partner organisation Stop the Wall, and Mohammad Othman, youth coordinator for Stop the Wall, have been freed after having been detained without charge by the Israeli authorities.
Their release marks a massive victory. Stop the Wall and War on Want would like to thank everyone who took action to help release Mohammad and Jamal.
Speaking on his release Jamal Juma' said:
"The massive support and actions of international civil society clearly made my imprisonment too uncomfortable for the Israeli authorities. This international
solidarity has given our popular struggle against the Wall further strength. We are deeply thankful for all the efforts.The reason for our arrests was purely political - an attempt to crush Stop the Wall and the popular committees against the Wall. We need to ensure that the campaign to free all of the anti-Wall activists and Palestinian political prisoners continues to grow. We have to combine our energies to ensure that the Wall will be torn down and the Occupation ends."
Stop the Wall has spearheaded the international boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel until it complies with international law
Act now to get the British government to impose a two-way arms embargo on Israel.
