On this Palestinian Prisoners’ Day, we stand in clear and uncompromising solidarity with the thousands of Palestinian prisoners held in Zionist prisons, and with all those who continue to resist occupation, repression, and imperialist domination.
Prisons are not neutral spaces. They are structures of control, built to isolate, punish, and break those who refuse submission. In Palestine, imprisonment is a central tool of colonial rule, used against a people who continue to resist dispossession and erasure. Palestinian prisoners are not held for security. They are imprisoned because they resist.
This is not unique to Palestine.
In Turkey, S-R-Y type pit prisons have long been used to impose isolation and destroy collective political life. Revolutionary prisoners are subjected to conditions designed to weaken and silence them. Yet these conditions have not produced surrender. Through organisation, discipline, and hunger strikes, prisoners continue to confront the system imposed upon them.
The current hunger strikes against isolation are part of this ongoing resistance. They are conscious and organised acts, refusing conditions that aim to strip prisoners of dignity and political identity.
Across both Palestine and Turkey, the same pattern is clear. Those who resist are isolated, criminalised, and separated from the people.
Today, repression is intensifying.
The Zionist state has moved to formalise execution as a policy against Palestinian prisoners. This is not about justice. It is an attempt to institutionalise death as a weapon of control, to threaten a people into submission through fear.
But this will not succeed.
The Palestinian people have already endured mass killing, imprisonment, and destruction on a scale that cannot be escalated into submission. Thousands have been killed and thousands more imprisoned, yet resistance has not been broken. Executions will not achieve what decades of violence have failed to do.
In Turkey, isolation, torture, and prison regimes did not eliminate revolutionary struggle. Instead, they produced continued resistance. The same will hold true in Palestine.
Prisoners in both Palestine and Turkey continue to resist, not as victims, but as part of an ongoing struggle. They organise under repression, refuse erasure, and maintain a collective will that cannot be destroyed by prisons or execution.
To stand with Palestinian prisoners is not symbolic. It is a political position within a wider struggle against imperialism and Zionism.
The responsibility is clear.
Break the isolation.
Make their struggle visible.
Stand with those who resist.
Victory to the Palestinian prisoners.
Victory to the revolutionary prisoners in Turkey.
From Palestine to Turkey one struggle one resistance will prevail against the Zionist and Imperialist oppression.
