On Sunday, April 17 - the 43rd annual Palestinian Prisoners' Day - 1,500 Palestinian political prisoners held by Israel launched the "Freedom and Dignity" hunger strike, their largest in five years (http://samidoun.net/2017/04/1500-palestinian-prisoners-launch-largest-collective-hunger-strike-in-years-take-action-in-support). The Palestinian prisoners' movement and its supporters have called for international mobilization to help the strikers win their demands for family visits, adequate medical care and other basic improvements (http://samidoun.net/2017/04/dignity-and-freedom-palestinian-organizations-and-figures-on-the-collective-hunger-strike). Continue a global week of actions to commemorate Prisoners' Day (http://samidoun.net/2017/04/schedule-of-events-actions-around-the-world-for-palestinian-prisoners-day-2017-week-of-action). Stand with the strikers and demand Israel release them and all 6,300 Palestinian political prisoners (http://addameer.org/statistics) immediately, and that Hewlett Packard end its contracts with Israeli prisons and detention centers, occupation and security forces, and checkpoints and settlements (http://investigate.afsc.org/company/hewlett-packard-enterprise) now. Build a growing international campaign to boycott HP (https://bdsmovement.net/boycott-hp) over its support for Israeli crimes. Support the Palestinian people, the Palestinian prisoners, the Palestinian Resistance, and the liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea.
