Inside Israeli Prison Walls: A Palestinian Prisoner’s Testimony
Episode 150
Thursday, 30 April, 2026

As Palestinian Prisoners’ Day is marked on April 17, this episode turns to life behind Israeli prison walls, where time itself becomes a site of struggle. Former detainee Husam Shaheen shares his testimony of more than two decades in prison, moving from early activism and repeated arrests to a 27-year sentence that became a lived experience of endurance, resistance, and survival. Through his account, we see how imprisonment shapes not only the body but also memory, identity, and time itself. Thank you for tuning into This is Palestine, the official podcast of The IMEU!
