The 17th of April was Palestinian Prisoners Day. This day marks the first liberation of a Palestinian political prisoner from an Israeli jail. There are currently around 6,500 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails, many held without charge, including many children. The arrests of Palestinians is a daily reality in occupied Palestine. Nevertheless, Palestinians continue to protest against the incarceration of so many of them and against the daily intimidations. New strategies and groups are forming in an attempt to break out of the present political isolation.
