"All prisoners are political prisoners." Juliana Goes, speaking now on situation of prisoners in Brazil.
80% of Brazil's prisoners, the third highest incarcerated population in the world, are Black and poor.
Prison rebellions take many forms. In Brazil, it is also rejecting state strategies to foment violence among prisoners.
Anthony Radcliffe recalls that today is the 50th anniversary of the third day of the Attica prison uprising. 1300 prisoners took over the facility to demand respect for their dignity and lives.
Prisons in the US are the continuation of slavery. This is upheld by the 13th amendment to the constitution and the courts.
One of the aspects of the Attica uprising that is overlooked is how the prisoners organized to take care of one another.
Milena Ansari of @Addameer joins the panel now to speak about the long history of Palestinian prison rebellions and its intersections with prison uprisings globally.
We can not advocate for the abolishment of Israeli prisons without advocating for the end of Israeli apartheid. Ending imprisonment of Palestinians is part of the pursuit of Palestinian self-determination.
All of Palestine is an open prison under Israeli control.
Children are not spared Israeli detention. The case of Amal Nakhleh dci-palestine.org/israeli_author…
In the aftermath of #thegreatescape of the six Palestinian prisoners, Israel attempted to forcibly transfer of prisoners to other facilities. In response, prisoners in Ofer and the Naqab resisted by burning their cells.
Throwing a rock can bring a 10-year sentence for a child, if property is damaged a 20-year sentence. #FreePalestine
