“Free Marwan, Free Palestine!” FPM Meet Abby Martin in Naarm

During an Australian tour in support of her new feature documentary Earth’s Greatest Enemy, American investigative journalist and filmmaker Abby Martin met with members of Free Palestine Melbourne at an IPAN event in the city.

A vocal critic of Israel’s genocide, Martin has appeared as a guest on several high-profile programs. Her considerable body of work on Palestine includes the 2019 documentary Gaza Fights for Freedom that focuses on Israel’s human rights violations against Palestinians during the Great March of Return demonstrations.

The documentary evocatively substantiated claims Israel’s plan has always been the displacement of Palestinians from their homeland, and emphasised Israel’s crimes of collective punishment in its deliberate killing of children, journalists and medical workers. Today, we continue to witness Israel commit these unimaginable crimes on a catastrophic scale, as the genocide in Gaza rages into its fourth year.

During the meeting Martin lent her support to Free Palestine Melbourne’s Freedom for Marwan Barghouti Now campaign, part of the international Free Marwan initiative, calling for his release along with the thousands of Palestinian hostages held illegally in Israeli prisons.

Free Palestine Melbourne thanked Martin for her fearless reporting and commentary in support of the Palestinian people, and we wish her the very best in her future endeavours. 

Free Marwan! Free Palestine!
