Sahar Francis, Director of Addameer,
and Dr Samah Jabr
CAFÉ PALESTINE 23
The Cafe will open with music at 6.15pm (UK) / 8.15pm (Pal)
The discussion will start at 6.30pm (UK) / 8.30pm (Pal)
The event is expected to finish at about 8.00pm (UK) / 10.00pm (Pal)
This event will be chaired by Lama Khouri, (Palestine Global Mental Health Network)
Sahar and Samah will discuss “administrative detention”, the stark violation of the right to a fair trial that forms part of Israel’s apartheid apparatus designed to control and delegitimize the Palestinian people. They will consider the psychological impact of this inhumane practice, and the strategies employed by prisoners to resist.
In recent years, Palestinian prisoners and detainees have resorted to hunger strikes to protest unjust Israeli detention policies and cruel prison conditions, including the use of solitary confinement, denial of family visits, medical negligence and torture.
