Norma Hashim of Viva Palestina Malaysia has compiled the recollections of 22 Palestinian prisoners who were incarcerated for varying lengths of time during the on-going Israeli occupation. Richard Falk, international law expert, said of the compilation: "The diaries [confirm] that even prolonged captivity [has] not diluted the spirit of Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation, but on the contrary [has] intensified it."

Here to tell us more, in conjunction with Palestinian Prisoners' Day, is Norma Hashim herself, and she is joined by Ahmad Barakat, a Viva Palestina Malaysia activist with extensive experience working with Palestinian prisoners.
