During his detention, the Israelis repeatedly claimed that his entire family had been killed, using a cruel psychological tactic to break him.
But today, as he returned to his home in Gaza and climbed the stairs, his wife ran into his arms, and his children and parents, all alive, stood around him overwhelmed with shock, relief, and joy.
ears of torture and the horrors of Israeli prisons were laid bare today as Palestinians welcomed their freed prisoners.

Yet one of the most unexpected tributes to the first cosmonaut lies far from space museums or bustling capitals — on the windswept Orkney Islands, off the north coast of Scotland.
Here, just steps from the Neolithic village of Skara Brae – a UNESCO World Heritage Site inhabited over 5,000 years ago – stands a carved stone that simply reads: “First Man in Space, AD 1961”. Nestled among markers of human milestones, it honours Gagarin’s place in our shared journey — from ancient stargazers to modern explorers.

The Communist Party, as it commemorates this national occasion, affirms that the battle for the land has not ended. Rather, it is growing more ferocious with the escalation of the occupation’s policies of Judaizing the land, expanding settlements, and enforcing the apartheid system against our people everywhere. Land confiscation, population displacement, and ongoing attacks on holy sites are a continuation of the same criminal and fascist approach that seeks to uproot the Palestinian people from their land. This year, Land Day comes amidst an unprecedented, brutal Zionist aggression, represented by the genocide being perpetrated against our people in the Gaza Strip. The Zionist war machine continues to commit horrific massacres against civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, in a systematic targeting aimed at uprooting our people and obliterating their national identity.
Many of these mummies arrived well before the Windrush generation – with none ever living in a British colony. It is believed the final leg of the journey saw the mummies arrive from the continent in small boats – imported by unscrupulous smugglers – for nefarious purposes. Once in the UK, such incomers become very difficult to remove, due to Human Rights legislation. The numbers then often multiply – as family members are discovered in their home countries (usually in a state of vagrancy) – and imported into the UK to complete highly lucrative exhibitions and displays.
