We, the Palestine Diaspora Movement (PDM), are calling on all people in the United States to take urgent action to demand that their elected officials pressure the Zionist occupation to immediately release Ahmad Manasra. His case is emblematic of the systematic abuse and criminalization of Palestinian children under Zionist 'Israeli' military occupation. His illegal imprisonment and inhumane treatment expose the broader pattern of injustice, apartheid, and blatant disregard for international human rights standards imposed on Palestinians. Ahmad has been robbed of his childhood and subjected to conditions that amount to psychological and physical torture.

This is not just about Ahmad. His case represents countless Palestinian children who face illegal detention, kidnapping, forced confessions, torture, coercion and brutal mistreatment in Zionist 'Israeli' military prisons and torture camps. If we do not act, we allow these human rights violations to continue unchecked. Taking action means standing against the Zionist entity’s abuses, demanding accountability, and ensuring that U.S. elected officials do not continue their complicity in these crimes.

Every second Ahmad remains in solitary confinement, his health deteriorates irreversibly. We cannot allow this injustice to persist. We must pressure the U.S. government to intervene and call for his immediate release.
