Today we are cross-publishing our latest Guerrilla Radio spinoff episode, to ensure as many of our listeners can take part in the action to free Walid Daqqah as possible. Be sure to spread the word!

In this high-priority episode of Guerrilla Radio, we are joined by Jeanine and Thawra from the Palestinian Youth Movement to bring light to their current campaign for the urgent and immediate release of the Palestinian political prisoner Walid Daqqah, and the history, centrality, and role the Prisoners Movement plays in the struggle for national liberation.

The Palestinian Youth Movement calls on the international community to demand the immediate release of Walid Daqqah and expose the illegal nature of his imprisonment.
