Anas is free!!

This week we received great news from Aida Camp. Anas Abu Srour is free!!

Anas, the Executive Director of the Aida Youth Center, was arrested on the 28th November last year by the Israeli Defence Forces as he left Ramallah on his way home to Aida Camp after sitting an English examination. That sentence was subsequently extended. His release has been as arbitrary as his incarceration, but happily, for Anas, his family and everybody in Aida Camp, he is free. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anas’ release comes in a week when the British press has published reports of the inhuman conditions that Palestinians are suffering in Israeli jails. While we are relieved that Anas is now free, the plights of thousands of Palestinian prisoners are still in our thoughts. The KB Link are planning a screening of “Tomorrow’s Freedom” at the Cinema Museum in Kennington. The film follows the family of Marwan Barghouti, the imprisoned political leader. 

We are happy that Anas can join his young family once again in Aida Camp and wish him all the best after this traumatic experience.
