This affects all the prisoners/ hostages including: 400 children kept in administrative detention. It also affects Marwan Barghouti, who has been recently tortured, is with 4 broken ribs, and whose health is rapidly deteriorating due to the conditions. He also faces a death penalty, he is the unity candidate agreed on by all Palestinian factions to lead a peace process.

The situation is absolutely desperate. Most of Gazas medical workers are held in these prisons as hostages.

Finally there is an instagram link: https://www.instagram.com/freepalhostages/ It has recent videos from Gaza asking people to support the campaign.

Thanks for sharing, Sion. This sounds like a much needed initiative. I will post across my Palestine networks here in Glasgow. We also hold monthly fundraiser Ceilidhs hereand I am happy to suggest that we donate to the red ribbon campaign. Are there physical red ribbons that we can buy and wear ?
