The following letter was received from Palestinian prisoners in Nafha
prison. It was forwarded to the Starry Plough by the Interational Relations
Committee of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
To the families of the martyrs oppressed by the British ruling class,
To the familes of Bobby Sands and his martyred comrades,
We, revolutionaries of the Palestinian people who are under the terrorist rule
of Zionism, write you this letter from the desert prison of Nafha. We extend
our salutes and solidarity with you in the confrontation against the oppressive
terrorist rule enforced upon the Irish people by the British ruling elite.
We salute the heroic struggle of Bobby Sands and his comrades, for they have
sacrificed the most valuable possession of any human being. They gave their
lives for freedom.
From here in Nafha prison where savage snakes and desert sands penetrate our
cells, from here under the yoke of Zionist occupation, we stand alongside you.
From behind our cell bars, we support you, your people and your revolutionaries
who have chosen to confront death.
Since the Zionist occupation, our people have been living under the worst
conditions. Our militants who have chosen the road of liberty and chosen to
defend our land, people and dignity, have been suffering for many years. In the
prisons we are confronting Zionist oppression and their systematic application
of torture. Sunlight does not enter our cell; basic necessities are not
provided. Yet we confront the Zionist hangmen, the enemies of life.
Many of our militant comrades have been martyred under torture by the fascists
allowing them to bleed to death. Others have been martyred because Israeli
prison administrators do not provide needed medical care.
The noble and just hunger strike is not in vain. In our struggle against the
occupation of our homeland, for freedom from the new Nazis, it stands as a
clear symbol of the historical challenge against the terrorists. Our people in
Palestine and in the Zionist prisons are struggling as your people are
struggling against the British monopolies, and we will both continue until
victory.
On behalf of the prisoners of Nafha, we support your struggle and cause of
freedom against English domination, against Zionism and against fascism in the
world.
