"AFT Calls for Release of the Palestinian Teachers Union Leader
Earlier today, the 1.7 million members of the American Federation of Teachers, whose president, Randi Weingarten, is one of the prominent labor leaders in the United States, called for the release of Palestinian teachers union leader Fatima Al Rimawi.
"We stand in solidarity with Fatima Nimer Al-Rimawi, a 54-year-old Palestinian teacher and union leader, unjustly detained since January without trial," tweeted the AFT earlier today. "Fatima's only "crime" was advocating for her people's rights. Let's unite to demand her immediate release!""
