On the occasion of the commemoration of the Palestinian’s Land Day and Palestinian’s Prisoners Day, the Union Nationale de la Femme Tunisienne (UNFT) organized a cultural demonstration under the theme: « Tunisian cultural week of support for the Palestinian Prisoners » in collaboration with the Palestinian Prisoners Club and the Embassy of Palestine in Tunisia. This demonstration which included a large number of events, started on 21st March 2017 and concluded on 25th March 2017. A press conference at the seat of the UNFT was organized. The President of the UNFT the Professor Radhia Jerbi claimed that solidarity between Tunisia and Palestine is in consonance with the Tunisian support to the cause of Palestinian detainees who resist to the occupation and said that this day was an occasion for exposing the brutal crimes of occupation against the Palestinian people.
Radhia Jerbi also confirmed that the UNFT is supporting Palestinian women who are involved in the resistance movement, the women prisoners and refugees living under Israeli occupation. They suffer brutal practices and they attend the most heinous crimes against their children and their families, and against the detainees and the prisoners in prisons.
