SUMMARY:The Struggles of Palestinian Prisoners
DESCRIPTION:Shedding light on current imprisonment conditions and the escalation of mass-arrest campaigns across Palestine\, the talk will highlight the centrality of imprisonment to Israel’s project of control and dispossession. Since 1948\, it is estimated that the Israeli regime has arrested nearly one million Palestinians\, subjecting them to multitude forms of torture and violence\, and diligently working to dismantle forms of collective mobilization and resistance inside prisons. The talk will also discuss the hope of true liberation that many have long been holding closely\, within and outside the physical space of the prison. \n\nLocation: CIRS Conference Room\, Georgetown University in Qatar. \n\nSpeaker: Basil Farraj (Birzeit University) \n\nModerator: Sami Hermez (Northwestern University)
