with whatever weapons at hand

On 28 October 2025, our beloved Tarck Bazrouk, 2 20-year-old
Palestinian political prisoner, was sentenced to 17 months in federal
prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release.

Western media may mischaracterize and demonize Tarck Bazrouk,
but Tarek’s community knows him for what he truly is, a young
Palestinian whose dream is to see a liberated Palestine, free from the
occupation’s checkpoints, bombs, and persistent pursuit of
Palestinians. Tarck has yeamed for this dream since birth and
continues to hold onto it with every cell in his body. This sentencing
failed to break his spirit. If anything, i reinforced his faith in Allah
(SW). In Tarck’s own words, “Indeed Allah is the best of planners
they planned and plotted but Allah has His presence everywhere.”

Since the US-funded “Isracli” genocide on Gaza began, Tarck was
consistently taking to the streets, protesting against these afrocifies.
For that, he was fargeted. It was nothing short of an infringement on
his rights and a vitriolic campaign against what he stood for:
liberation.

Additionally, Tarek's case is not an isolated incident: it is a mirror
reflecting the relentless, violent nature of the US govemment's
encroachment on our communities. From ICE: to the FBI and to the
NYPD, every arm of the state continues to work in an attempt fo
suppress our voices. This has been the reality every fime a movement
demanding justice has risen, a reality that has worsened since the
genocide began in Gaza it has esposed the truth at every level of
society. However, this repression does not work when the truth
speaks louder than their lies.

“The liberation struggle that Tarck is a part of in the United States is
but an estension of the struggle in Pale
with different battleficlds. Political imprisonment such as Tarck’s

ine. It is the same movement.

e alestine s
represents a fear in the face of the change being ignited from within
the US. This repression is a trademark of the US, now manifesting in
intensified new waves. We recognize that this s part of the enemy’s

nd conquer. The movement must stay united to

plans to divide
prepare for the long-term struggle at hand

We draw out sirength from the people of Gaza, who continuc to
stand firm against the Zionist entity and US imperialism. We learn
patience from the thousand of Palestinian prisoners who were freed
in the prisoner exchange deal, many of whom had been serving life
sentences. From Tarck Bazrouk, we leam hope, resilience, and the
will to continue the struggle unil victory.

Victory was Tarek’s final message to the filled courtroom that came.
to stand with him. The court was packed with steadfast and loving

faces that awaited a reunion. Even in shackles, he raised the victory
sign, living proof that chains and jail cells fail to imprison the mind of
a free Palestinian. They sought to make an example out of Tarek, but
what they don’t know is that Tarck embodics courage, resilience, and

an unwavering commitment to his people. Tarck represents a

gencration that refuses to bow 10 oppression.

“Tarek’s sentence will not deter the Palestinian liberation movement.
We will continue to stand with Tarek Bazrouk and every political
prisoner who came before him and sacrified for the cause. We
remember Marwan Bargnouti, who urged us to “rise above the
wounds, to overcome the pain, and to move forward in order o

preserve the sacred dream.” It s the dream that guides us, the dream

of complete liberation for which we will continue marching.

Our prisoners will always remain at the heart of our struggle, the
compass of complete liberation. From Tarck Bazrouk to the Holy
Land Five, Jahki McCray, Casey Goonan, Malik Muhammad, Leqaa

. e tarkc
Kordia, Marwan Barghouti, we will honor their sacrifice and continue

to fight for their liberation. Their freedom is the key to the liberation

of all of Palestine.

Finally, we call on our people and allies to continue to show up
s. We must continue to support him. In his own

words, “Thank [them)] all for coming. My family and fri

beyond courtroom

nds, everyone

who came from the community. T don’t know how Tl ever be able to
repay them.” We urge you to write letters to Tarck, onate to his

commissary, and send him books. We must ensure our political

prisoners are never isolated, for the shackles can never cage the truth

“We reject Tarek’s sentencing more than political theater

where extreme sentences

are impose as a method fo suppress pro-

Palestine action.

We reject the notion that his actions were a ‘hate crime’

Palestinians have the right to fight back

gainst their oppressors. The
“victims’ that were brought o testify arc known agitators that have

consistently shown up to actions and ralles to instigate and provoke

Tarek is only guilty of resisting his oppressors. his sentence of 17
months in prison and three years probation serves no purpose

beyond crushing dissent and resistance under the leveraged langu:

of so-called ‘hate crimes.”
