Charlotte Kates - Voice of Palestine Interview (2015)

On today's show we feature an interview with Charlotte Kates, coordinator of the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, courtesy of the Canadian broadcast "Voice of Palestine" hosted by Hanna Kawas. In this interview Kates talks about the work of Samidoun, and the conditions of Palestinian political prisoners, including the case of Lina Khattab, a young 18 year old media student at Bir Zeit University, and a folkloric dancer with the dance troup El Funoun. Lina was recently sentenced to 6 months in prison on charges of throwing stones, and participating in an unlawful demonstration. This Voice of Palestine interview was originally broadcast on February 20, 2015. Go to Voice of Palestine to view and listen to VOP episodes.
