On today’s Palestine Post, we begin in conversation with Wassim Hage about the San Francisco District Attorney’s decision to level charges against 26 Bay Area pro-Palestine protesters who blocked the Golden Gate Bridge on April 15th of this year, charging eight of them with significant felonies including conspiracy and false imprisonment. Those protesters turned themselves in on Monday, with all released on their own recognizance. Their legal team is prepared to fight those charges.
Then, after more than 300 days of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and following a report from Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem on treatment of Palestinian prisoners by the zionist state called “Welcome to Hell” we speak with Linda Sarsour, a Brooklyn-born Palestinian Muslim American activist, author, and community organizer. She is the author of her memoir We Are Not Here to Be Bystanders. We’re also joined by Sahar Francis, is the General Director of Ramallah-based Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, a Palestinian organization providing legal and advocacy support to Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli and Palestinian prisons. She is also an attorney.
