يوم الأسير الفلسطيني

Brothers of my ancient day, my heart beats with your hearts behind the bars. Would that you could be free in my freedom and walk with me and my comrades… Brothers of this day, which is my day, you swam against the current of their reasoning and you were caught. They say I too swim against that current. Perhaps I shall soon be with you, a law-breaker among law-breakers.
Khalil Gibran

As the sun rises on the morning of April 17th, we are called to remember our brothers and sisters, whose cells do not see the light of day. We are called to remember their families, whose home is missing a father, son, wife, or daughter.
Israel currently holds around 11,000 Palestinian prisoners.
