30 March is ‘Land Day’ in Palestine. It is the anniversary of the 1976 General Strike against a massive land grab by Israel. The event was once again marked both in Palestine and internationally.
This year, this event has been held under heightened tensions because of the continued mass protests against the treatment of thousands of imprisoned Palestinians. Arafat Jaradat and Maysara Abuhamdia are two Palestinians that have recently died in Israeli jails. Two more Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in demonstrations following these deaths.
