LANA HABASH & LAILA MURAD
"Muslim Political Prisoners from Israel to the United States"

The so-called "War on Terror" has led to the racist and Islamophobic
targeting of Arabs and Muslims around the world. Whether in Israel's
colonial attacks on Palestine or the FBI's targeting of Muslims here in the
United States, the results of the "War on Terror" is the torture,
imprisonment, and death of Muslims and Arabs. The inhumane confinement of
Palestinian prisoners and the atrocious sentencing of Tarek Mehanna are two
pieces of a larger attack and yet the hunger strike by thousands of
Palestinian prisoners and the brave statement by Tarek Mehanna show that
resistance is always growing. This Sunday we will explore the realities of
Muslim and Arab political prisoners in the United States and Israel.

Lana Habash is a Palestinian fighter for freedom, mother, doctor, organizer,
and leader in the Greater-Boston community. Laila Muard is a Muslim
political organizer who, among many other efforts, heads up the campaign to
free Tarek Mehanna.
