FLOOD THE STREETS FOR PALESTINIAN PRISONERS
“The Zionist entity has passed legislation termed the “Prisoner Execution Law” in an unprecedented escalation of the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people. The “Prisoner Execution Law” codifies the occupation’s murder of Palestinian prisoners, who are already facing brutal torture, starvation, and murder behind bars at the hands of the Zionist colonial regime.
We will take to the streets on Tuesday, April 7th, to make our voices heard and demand FREEDOM FOR ALL PALESTINIAN PRISONERS and an END TO THE GENOCIDE BEHIND BARS.
Bring flags and signs. Do not travel alone,” said several organizations before the protest. CUNY for Palestine, Writers Against the War on Gaza, PAL-Awda NY, Columbia Palestine Solidarity Coalition (CPSC), Fatima Mohammed, Students for Justice in Palestine at the City College of New York (CCNY SJP), CUNY Law students standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people’s struggle for liberation (CUNY Law SJP), Columbia Intifada (Not affiliated with the imperialist, Zionist, genocidal, colonizing, gentrifying, pig-loving, war-profiteering “institution” Columbia University), Palestine Solidarity Working Group (We are an anti-Zionist group of revolutionary socialists building a solidarity movement on turtle island accountable to Palestinians), New York City Chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement, NYC Students for Justice in Palestine (An independent, grassroots coalition of NYC Student for Justice in Palestine chapters committed to the struggle for Palestinian liberation), NY Indivisible.
Passage of Prisoner Execution Law Is an Open Declaration of War on Their Lives and a Stain on the Conscience of the World.
“The Palestinian Center for Prisoners Advocacy strongly condemns the Israeli occupation Knesset’s passage of what is termed the “Prisoner Execution Law” in its second and third readings, in a step that represents an official transition to a phase of legalized killing against Palestinian prisoners inside prisons.
The Center affirms that this law bears the clear imprint of an extremist, fascist approach led by the so-called “National Security” Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, with full backing from the political, security, and military levels of the occupying state, foremost among them Benjamin Netanyahu and his government, which has chosen to move from policies of repression and abuse to a policy of openly executing prisoners.
What took place inside Israel’s Knesset, before the eyes and ears of the entire world, is not merely legal legislation; rather, it is an open declaration of war on the lives of prisoners, transforming prisons into execution platforms under a judicial system that is fully biased and devoid of even the minimum standards of justice or independence.
The Center notes that the occupation has already committed the crime of slow killing against prisoners, with more than 350 Palestinian prisoners having died inside prisons prior to the passage of this law as a result of torture, medical neglect, and systematic abuse. This means that the law does not initiate killing, but will instead accelerate it and grant it official cover, whether through direct execution or other means. The passage of this law is but a new episode in the systematic annihilation faced by the Palestinian people, targeting their very existence and lives in an escalating manner.
The passage of this law constitutes a dangerous and unprecedented escalation that will open a new phase of confrontation and continuous struggle across all areas of Palestinian land, amid a clear understanding that the occupation is proceeding toward the physical liquidation of prisoners, and that this law will not pass without consequences at all levels.
The Center also holds the state of Arab weakness additionally responsible for reaching this stage, as Arab positions have not risen to the level of the threat and have remained confined to timid statements that have exerted no real pressure to halt this dangerous course.
The Center believes that the role of the Palestinian Authority can no longer tolerate hesitation or reliance on symbolic positions; rather, it must rise to the level of national and historical responsibility by moving toward a clear practical path based on unifying the national position and forming a genuine protective front for prisoners and their families, according to a defined national program that matches the scale of the threat.
At the international level, the Center affirms that what is taking place exposes a clear state of complicity, or at the very least a shameful incapacity on the part of international human rights and humanitarian institutions, which only recently engaged in intensive discourse regarding Israeli prisoners, yet are now almost entirely absent in the face of a crime being committed in broad daylight against thousands of Palestinian prisoners, before the eyes and ears of the world, without any serious action.
In light of this unprecedented escalation, the Center calls for:
First: Immediate action by the United Nations Security Council to halt the implementation of this law and to hold the occupying state accountable for this grave crime, which violates all international and humanitarian norms and conventions.
Second: The League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to overcome the state of Arab and Islamic inaction by building a unified position that includes practical and pressure-based steps at all levels.
Third: The launch of an international legal process to prosecute the occupation for this crime before international courts, with the involvement of all supporters and advocates of the Palestinian cause.
Fourth: The development of a unified Palestinian national position leading to comprehensive and escalating action to defend the lives of prisoners and to provide all means of support and assistance to them and their families.
In conclusion, the Palestinian Center for Prisoners Advocacy stresses that any harm to the lives of prisoners will not break the will of our people, but will instead drive further confrontation, and that this crime will remain a testament to the collapse of the international justice system and its failure to protect the most basic human rights.”_Palestinian Center for Prisoners Advocacy.

“Israel’s Knesset approved the execution bill for Palestinian prisoners on Monday. The bill authorizes the execution of Palestinians prisoners in military court by hanging, and requires execution within 90 days of sentencing for any Palestinian found to have caused the death of a settler while defending their land or otherwise resisting the occupation. The conviction rate for Palestinians in Israel’s military courts is over 96%.
The bill is expected to be put to a final vote on Wednesday of this week and then become law. The bill’s passage is a terrifying development for thousands of Palestinian political prisoners who remain behind bars in Zionist prisons.
Shortly after the bill’s approval, Zionist terrorist and security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and other Kahanists openly celebrated and toasted the bill’s approval. Ben-Gvir and other members of the Knesset were seen in the weeks leading up to the vote sporting noose pins on their blazers, as they lobbied to get the bill through to the final stages.
Zionists continue to show the world their true faces, facilitating and applauding the genocide of the Palestinian people with the full blessing and material support of the United States, Canada and Europe.
The struggle continues against the execution bill and the entirety of the Zionist entity’s kangaroo court system. Until the last colonial courtroom is shuttered and the last Zionist jail cell emptied, we will not rest,” said the New York City Chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement on Monday, March 30, 2026.
On Tuesday, March 31, 2026, Students for Justice in Palestine at the City College of New York (CCNY SJP) said, “The “Prisoner Execution Law” officially passed yesterday by the criminal occupation represents an official transition to a phase of “legalized killing” against Palestinians held in occupation prisons. The legal codification of murder is a tool of colonization and a continuation of the genocide of the Palestinian people. We call on all students and people of conscience to raise your voices for the prisoners and not abandon their cause.
