Headline: “Demand that Britain apologize to our people and the families of the Shahids (Martyrs) of Acre Prison.”
“General Coordinator of the Popular Movement for the Prisoners and Palestinian Rights, Nash’at Al-Wahidi, has demanded that Britain apologize to the Palestinian people and to the families of the Shahids executed at the Acre Prison on June 17, 1930, during the British Mandate in Palestine. He emphasized that the Popular Movement for the Prisoners and Palestinian Rights, in cooperation with the prisoners’ committee of the National and Islamic Forces in Gaza, is planning to mark the anniversary of the execution and Martyr death of the heroes of Red Tuesday, the Shahid prisoners Muhammad Khalil Jamjoum, Fuad Hassan Hajazi, and Ata Al-Zir… Al-Wahidi said that imperialism and the British Mandate, and the Israeli occupation, are two sides of the same coin.”
Note: The report by His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the Council of the League of Nations on the Administration of Palestine and Trans-Jordan for the year 1930 states:
"After very careful consideration of the capital cases in which sentence of death was confirmed by the Court of Appeal (namely 7 in 1929 and 20 in 1930), the High Commissioner decided, in exercise of the prerogative of mercy vested in him by Article 16 of the Palestine Order in Council, 1922, to commute the sentences of death, in all but three cases, to penal servitude for life or a term of years. The three Arabs whose sentences of death were carried out had committed particularly brutal murders at Safad and Hebron."
