Palestine, G4S and the Prison Industrial Complex

War on Want, the School of Law at SOAS University and the Russell Tribunal on Palestine recently hosted Angela Davis and Gina Dent for a discussion on Justice for Palestine and the Stop G4S campaign.
   It was a unique opportunity to hear Angela and Gina discuss Palestine and the struggle for liberty in a world of growing militarisation, privatised repression and the proliferation of prisons.

In 2007, the British security company G4S signed a contract with the Israeli Prison Authority to provide security systems and other services for major Israeli prisons, which hold Palestinian political prisoners.

G4S also provides equipment and services to Israeli checkpoints in the West Bank that form part of the route of Israel’s illegal Wall and to the terminals isolating the occupied and besieged territory of Gaza.

After watching the video please do share this email with your friends and help us expose G4S's complicity in Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine.

P.S. Please take action to end G4S complicity in Israel’s prison system and illegal occupation.
