ASSEMBLE OUTSIDE BBC RADIO MERSEYSIDE at 5PM
We are calling for a demonstration on Thursday to protest the continued detention of Hana
Shalabi and all the other Palestinian prisoners.
We are doing this to protest the complicity of the mainstream media through their refusal to report on the hunger strike of Hana and 25 other prisoners.
Hana Al-Shalabi like some 300 Palestinians is being held under arbitrary 'administrative detention', which allows Israel to hold Palestinians without charges or recourse to a trial.
Hana was arrested on February 16th and immediately began a hunger strike, after 33 days her health is deteriorating and she can no longer stand,**UPDATE: Hana's life is now in danger according to doctors** 23 other prisoners and Hana's elderly parents have since joined the hunger strike and all the while the Western media stays silent.

It took almost 50 days for Khader Adnan's hunger strike to receive the limited coverage it received here in the UK and we must take the streets of Liverpool to show that we will not accept or be party to this wall of silence that we will not let Hana and the others die in silence.
The BBC has a woeful record in covering the Palestinian issue and we will marching down to the BBC building to hand-in a letter of complaint and an appeal to them and all media outlets to give this story the coverage it deserves.
Silence is complicity, we refuse to be silent, join us and help make the message from Liverpool loud and clear:
"No to arbitrary detention, Freedom for Hana Shalabi, Freedom for all the prisoners, Freedom for Palestine
