Call to Action! Political Prisoners for Palestine on Hunger Strike From Britain to the U.S. abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/211…
Call to Action! Political Prisoners for Palestine on Hunger Strike From Britain to the U.S.
T. Hoxha is a Palestine activist who has been imprisoned for 9 months without trial in connection with the so-called Filton 24 case. This case is part of the targeting of Palestine Action — including its recent proscription in Britain — the activist group accused of participating in an action against the site of leading Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems in Filton in April 2024. Palestine Action has been playing a leading role globally in directly confronting the producers of arms fueling the ongoing Zionist-imperialist genocide against the Palestinian people, particularly in Gaza.
She has been on hunger strike at Peterborough Prison since August 11. Her demands are that she be able to return to her job at the library and receive all the mail she has not yet received.
Casey Goonan, political prisoner of the student intifada in the United States, is charged with firebombing a cop car at UC Berkeley in response to the police’s brutal and violent treatment of students, who were protesting to demand an end to university complicity in the ongoing genocide. Upon hearing of T. Hoxha’s hunger strike, Casey Goonan and their cellmate have decided to join her in solidarity declaring:
Today I learned about T Hoxha, a Pal Action prisoner in the UK who is on day 16 of their hunger strike at HMP Peterborough. As of 4pm eastern time, August 26, 2025, 2 out of 3 of her demands have been met, but she is still on strike to demand that the prison release the mail they have been withholding from her.
As captives imprisoned for our participation in the Palestinian liberation movement in the west, we have a responsibility to each other across borders to pursue our lives in prison with the same steadfastness as the Palestinian Prisoners movement held captive in ‘Israeli’ prisons.
The states we have been captured by are the enablers of the Zionist entity’s accelerated genocide of Palestinians, as well as the ongoing genocides of black and indigenous people who’s lands they continue to occupy.
As the Western left continues to move from crisis to crisis, avoiding their responsibilities to Palestine, we are all that we have. By we I am referring to people facing repression for their support for Palestine, the people who are truly sacrificing. Such as T Hoxha, who has suffered through 16 days of starvation just to get her mail.
The Palestine solidarity movement in the west cannot abandon people like her who have risked their lives and continue to do so in resistance to the intolerable condition of genocide.
As of today one of my cellmates and I are on hunger strike at Santa Rita jail until her demands are met.
Solidarity with T Hoxha and all prisoners of the Palestine Solidarity movement!
Raze the walls!
Liberate all prisoners of the settler empire!
Casey GoonanHoxha’s and Goonan’s hunger strikes must not go unheard. We must make clear as a movement that our prisoners will not be left behind! They are incarcerated for their participation on the front lines of the Palestinian solidarity and liberation movements, because they heard the Palestinian people’s call to escalate, and responded by attacking the structures that enable the Zionist Entity within the imperial core.
Free T. Hoxha, Casey Goonan, The Filton 24, Anan Yaeesh, Elias Rodriguez, Jakhi McCray, Tarek Bazrouk, Ghassan Elashi and Shukri Abu Baker of the Holy Land 5;
Free the Black prisoners resisting the U.S Empire from its interior, free Mumia Abu Jamal, Imam Jamil al-Amin, Joseph Bowen, Fred Burton, Veronza Bowers, Kojo Bomani Sababu, Kamau Sadiki, and all of the prisoners of the Black Liberation Movement;
Free the 16 Lebanese and dozens of Syrian prisoners in Zionist jails, abducted and held hostage to impose Zionist-Imperialist control over Lebanon and Syria;
Free the over 10,800 Palestinian Prisoners who are routinely subjected to physical and sexual assault, psychological torture and abuse, sleep deprivation, starvation and denial of access to food and medical care, who continue to lead, inspire and guide Palestinian, Arab and international Resistance.
FREE THEM ALL!
