Ahmad and Marwan are finally home with their families. I am fully drained by this long struggle but relieved that our persistence resulted in their freedom.

Ahmad Alazzeh and Marwan Farejh are known internationally and in Bethlehem for their non violence work to create peace in Palestine and Israel. Ahmad is also member of the Oxfam International Youth Partnerships network where he has demonstrated commitment and actions towards nonviolence. On March 29th, Palm Sunday Ahmad, Marwan and others were arrested at the Bethlehem checkpoint while participating in a non violent march to protest for the freedom of movement and the right to pray. I respectfully urge you to sign this petition to demand the immediate and unconditional release of Ahmad Alazzeh and Marwan Farejeh and the other nine prisoners arrested with them as they are prisoners of conscience and they are asking for freedom of worship and movement

Everyone deserves the right to pray where they want. Keeping these guys in jail is a joke.

Non violent protest is a human right. Stop locking up activists for standing up for what is right.

This is completely wrong. They were just marching for peace. Free them now!
