Madrid – May 9, 2025
During his participation in a massive solidarity march in the Spanish capital, Head of the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, Raed Abu Al-Hummos, expressed deep appreciation for the overwhelming turnout of Spanish citizens, Palestinians, Arabs, and international supporters who took to the streets in protest of the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza and the broader Palestinian people.
Abu Al-Hummos, currently visiting Spain with an official delegation from the Commission, described the demonstration as an inspiring and unifying scene that brought together people of diverse backgrounds, all demanding justice and an end to the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation. Banners and chants throughout the march reaffirmed the Palestinian right to freedom and independence, while condemning the Israeli leadership for its brutal actions.
“What we witnessed today in Madrid is a testament to the power of global conscience,” he said. “We hope to see similar mobilizations across European capitals, as such grassroots pressure is essential to compel governments to take meaningful action in the face of ongoing atrocities.”
He further commended the Palestinian community in Spain and the organizers for their role in making the event a success. He also thanked the Spanish government and people for their principled stance, noting that Spain’s recognition of the State of Palestine is a vital step that bolsters the Palestinian people’s pursuit of justice, statehood, and freedom.
Abu Al-Hummos emphasized that the plight of Palestinian detainees was a prominent theme throughout the march, resonating strongly with participants. He called for strengthened coordination between institutions working on detainee issues, Palestinian embassies, and diaspora communities, stressing the importance of clear and unified strategies to advance the national cause on the international stage.
