In act of civil disobedience, 150 Sudanese refugees walk out of Israeli 'open prison'
"The 150 men walk six hours through the Negev desert in bid to reach Jerusalem, are currently in Be’er Sheva and rebuffing authorities’ offer to bus them back to the ‘Holot’ open prison facility that opened late last week."
They left , the roughly 150 Sudanese asylum seekers , a new ‘open prison’ and walked to Be’er Sheva in a mass act of civil disobedience protesting their continued detention without trial and demanding recognition as refugees on Sunday.
"The asylum seekers were transferred to the new facility, “Holot,” in recent days in line with*a law passed last week. The law is an attempt by legislators to circumvent a*High Court ruling, which struck down*as unconstitutional a previous law that*permitted the indefinite detention of asylum seekers. The new law instead authorizes their indefinite detention in “open” facilities."

What a beautiful way to use nonviolent resistance to respond to Israel's racist and unlawful laws and escape their open air concentration camp!
Bravo, brave and beautiful protesters!
