Boycott G4S !!!

The following call to action to the global movement for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions was issued by the National and Islamic Forces – the alliance of Palestinian factions – comprising the National Palestinian Prisoners’ Movement. In the call to action, Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails urge the growth and development of the BDS movement and in particular the campaign against G4S, the global private security corporation with contracts to provide security systems to Israeli jails and detention centers that imprison nearly 6,000 Palestinians.

Joe Catron, journalist and organizer with Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network in New York City, spoke at an event on Friday, 29 January, about the case of Mohammed al-Qeeq, Palestinian journalist on hunger strike for well over two months, and the growing international solidarity campaign for his freedom.

Catron, speaking at a forum organized by the Workers World Party, discusses the nature of administrative detention, Israeli military courts, Al-Qeeq’s hunger strike, and the international campaign to boycott G4S. He details the involvement of G4S – the world’s largest security corporation – in Israeli prisons, checkpoints and police training centers, as well as its involvement in international human rights abuses.
