FREE MANAL AND NOUR
Petition to Release Manal and Nour
A Women in Black (Vienna) vigil demanding freedom for
political prisoners. April 1, 2005.
Dear Adameer members,
Women's Organization for Political Prisoner (WOFPP) collected signatures to a petition for the immediate release of Manal. Now there are some 200 individual signatories and 13 organizations.
We submitted the petition with the signatures to the Israeli commander in chief, the Defense Minister and to the International Committee of the Red Cross. Below : the petition with the signatures. We hope that it will help the campaign to release Manal. We will continue to organize activities for Manal's release. We support the release of all the Palestinian political prisoners.
Sincerely
Hava Keller
Tirtza Tauber
The petition (we sent the petition with the Addameer press release):
Women's Organization for Political Prisoners (WOFPP) joins the campaign launched by Addameer (Addameer Prisoners' Support and Human Rights Association, situated in Ramallah) to free Manal Ghanim. Below is WOFPP’s petition calling for the immediate release of Manal. We invite you to join this petition as a private person and/or an organization.
To join the petition send your name and/or the name of your organization
to: trn1@zahav.net.il or call: +972-3-5227124.
Free Manal!
Manal Naji Mahmoud Ghanim, 29 years old, mother of four, from Tulkarem Refugee Camp, was arrested in April 2003 by the Israeli army and sentenced in a military court in the occupied West Bank to 50 months in prison. Manal, who suffers from Thalasemia, was arrested when pregnant and shortly after that gave birth to her son Nour. Nour is now a year and half old. Both are held in Hasharon Prison (Telmond).
The prison authorities do not provide Manal and her son with the necessary medical care, nor do they provide Nour with adequate food or toys. The prison authorities even refuse to let the family bring any toys for Nour. In addition to the daily suffering in prison, it happens, as on November 28, 2004, that the wardens attack the women prisoners with tear gas and water hoses. While such a violent act represents severe harassment for all the prisoners, for a baby it actually is a real danger. In fact, Nour was ill for at least six weeks following this attack.
Manal has another two sons and a daughter. The younger boy, 7-years old Maged, suffers from sickle cell anemia. Due to his health condition, he needs hospitalization every ten days. At these times, Maged desperately needs his mother’s support.
We, the undersigned, are seriously concerned about the deterioration of Manal's, Nour's and their family’s health, caused by Manal's continuous imprisonment. We demand to immediately free Manal Naji Mahmoud Ghanim.
