Urgent Action for Hana Yahya Al-Shalabi

Al-Awda, The Palestine Right To Return Coalition calls on all people of conscience to take immediate action to help save the life of Palestinian female political prisoner Hana Yahya Al-Shalabi who has been illegally detained by Israeli authorities under the guise of "administrative detention" without any charge or trial whatsoever.

Hana was an "administrative detainee" with NO charge for over 2 years before she was released in October last year as a part of the Shalit prisoner swap. She has been refusing food since her recapture and is on day 9 of her hunger strike against her renewed "administrative detention" again with NO charge.

This has been a common practice by the Israeli court system for Palestinians who courageously challenge Israel's brutal and illegal occupation of Palestine. Most recently was the case of Khader Adnan who was also detained on a similar premise of "administrative detention" without charges or trial. Due to his ill-treatment in jail he held an unprecedented hunger strike of 67 days before the Israeli occupation authorities were finally pressured by worldwide support for Khader Adnan. He is now due to be released on April 17, 2012.

Please join the voices and support around the world to save Hana Al-Shalabi's life and demand her immediate release from prison! Take action now!

Please write to President Obama and voice your concern and demand that the US administration intervene for the immediate release of Hana Al-Shalabi from administrative detention. You can use the online form at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/submit-questions-and-comments

Call US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: (202) 647-4000 or Office of Near East Affairs: (202) 647-7209. Demand that the Secretary intervene for the immediate release of Hana Al-Shalabi from administrative detention.

Organize Rallies at your local Israeli Embassies.

Help spread awareness through social media and to all your contacts as you deem fit after you take action!
