When Children Are Made Prisoners: A Palestinian Speaks

from Beyond the Ballot Box · host BFM Media

In April, Palestinians observe two very important days. The first is Palestinian Children’s Day, which takes place on the 5th and was established in 1995 by the late Palestinian liberation activist and politician, Yasser Arafat, to highlight the rights and welfare of Palestinian children. April is also the month of Palestinian Prisoners Day to honour Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli detention. In this episode, we discuss the importance of both those days with Baha Hilo, who’s a Palestinian educator and activist currently in Malaysia. Image Credit: ShutterstockSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
