Freedom Tunnel to Al-Aqsa Flood: Prisoners, Resistance & Liberation (2/2)
The great popular Intifada of 1987 launched from Gaza in December, six months after the May 1987 Gaza prison break of Misbah al-Suri and his comrades and two months after their battle in Shujaiyya on 6 October, now commemorated as the official anniversary date of the founding of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement; and of course, two years after the great prisoner exchange of 1985 conducted by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command which liberated 1150 Palestinian prisoners, including al-Suri, Kozo Okamoto of the Japanese Red Army; Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, later the spiritual leader of Hamas; and Ziyad Nakhaleh, the current general secretary of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Similarly, it is clear that alongside the Battle of Seif al-Quds/the Unity Intifada, the Freedom Tunnel – and, of course, the Wafa’ al-Ahrar prisoner exchange accomplished by the Resistance in 2011 in which many leaders, including most prominently, Yahya Sinwar, chair of the Political Bureau of Hamas, were liberated – is one of the immediate forebears of 7 October 2023.
The light of liberation that shone from the Freedom Tunnel has become a burning sun of the Palestinian revolution, casting away all illusions and exposing the friends and enemies of the Palestinian people, unquenchable until victory and liberation, from the river to the sea. It is clear to all that the Palestinian resistance – alongside the resistance forces in the region, stretching from Lebanon to Yemen to Iraq to Syria to Iran, and around the world, from the Sahel to Venezuela, with the support of our movements on our campuses, communities, countries and cities everywhere, including in the heart of the imperial core – can and will defeat the Zionist project in Palestine and US-led imperialism in the region, no matter how vicious their genocidal aggression and the irreplaceable human toll that they are determined to extract from the Palestinian and Arab people.
Today, the six heroes of the Freedom Tunnel are high priorities for liberation in a prisoner exchange conducted by the Resistance, alongside their fellow leaders of the prisoners’ movement: Marwan Barghouti, Ahmad Sa’adat, Abdullah Barghouti, Abbas al-Sayyed, Ibrahim Hamed, Hassan Salameh, Nael Barghouti, and their fellow prisoners with lengthy sentences, alongside the steadfast women prisoners like Khalida Jarrar, Hanan Barghouti, Bushra al-Tawil, Shatila Abu Ayad, and all of the thousands of Palestinian prisoners held behind Zionist, imperialist and collaborationist reactionary regime bars.
The situation inside the prisons has become even worse for Palestinian prisoners, as the Zionist regime carries out a deliberate policy of torture, starvation, medical neglect and abuse. For thousands of Palestinians abducted from Gaza and held in the torture camps like Sde Teiman, Zionist imprisonment has meant extreme physical and psychological torture, rape and sexual assault, conducted as a matter of state policy. The internal Zionist front is being torn apart with contradictions, especially after the exposure of the Netanyahu government’s willingness to give up the Zionist captives held by the Resistance in order to prolong their political future – even at the expense of the Zionist project itself.
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network urges all in the movement to take this anniversary as an occasion to highlight the struggles of the Palestinian prisoners’ movement as part and parcel of the Palestinian liberation struggle, demand an end to the genocide, the freedom of the Palestinian prisoners and the liberation of all of Palestine, and to celebrate and honour the heroic resistance of the Palestinian people, especially the armed resistance at the forefront of that liberation.
Glory to the martyrs, freedom for the prisoners, and liberation for Palestine, from the river to the sea.

The act of enemy soldiers opening fire and killing the American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi is a new war crime that adds to the series of crimes committed by the entity in front of the entire world.
The silence of the American administration on the crimes of the occupation makes it a full partner with it. The discrimination by the American administration between its citizens who hold its nationality, on a political basis, is a contempt for all the values it claims to uphold. There is no difference between those killed by the hands of occupation soldiers, whether in captivity or participating in solidarity with our people. The assassination of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh is not far off from this reality.
