50 years ago, the Palestinian National Council established April 17 as the International Day of Solidarity with Palestinian Prisoners, in which solidarity is expressed with Palestinian political prisoners detained in Israeli prisons.
In 2024, the Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) marks this day by denouncing and strongly condemning the ongoing genocide carried out by Israel against the Palestinian people, in which, we are daily faced with an increase in the number of deaths and injured, which now exceeds 109 thousand, mostly women and children.
