Join us in calling on the UN to cancel its $22m contracts with G4S, the security company that helps Israel imprison and torture Palestinians.



The UNHCR in Jordan has said<http://emails.bdsnationalcommittee.org/l/pzaIBkivaexWRi4jwMaPdQ/Iu0rBbcl892tP6gzuWl3b763Ng/cpqATWiv8925L7J892eGoiiTxQ> it has ended some of its contracts with G4S. Now we want to push the UN as a whole to cut all of its contracts with G4S.



Take action now to tell the UN to end all of its contracts with G4S<http://emails.bdsnationalcommittee.org/l/pzaIBkivaexWRi4jwMaPdQ/TLjBfAlybkiIcvSU1AZIIw/cpqATWiv8925L7J892eGoiiTxQ>



G4S provides services and equipment to Israeli occupation prisons where torture and detention without trial are common place.



Since the start of October, tens of thousands of Palestinians have taken to the streets to protest Israeli apartheid and colonialism.



As a way to repress this popular resistance, Israel has arrested 1,800 Palestinians, including 300 children, many of whom are now held in G4S-equipped prisons.



By awarding G4S contracts worth $22m last year, the UN is giving G4S a green light to carry on violating international law and human rights.



Stand in solidarity with Palestinian political prisoners<http://emails.bdsnationalcommittee.org/l/pzaIBkivaexWRi4jwMaPdQ/TLjBfAlybkiIcvSU1AZIIw/cpqATWiv8925L7J892eGoiiTxQ>



Last week, campaigners in Amman, London, New York, Brussels and Rome marked the UN Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people by holding protests<http://emails.bdsnationalcommittee.org/l/pzaIBkivaexWRi4jwMaPdQ/AfSHKYeCVZD8nMukY5FjoQ/cpqATWiv8925L7J892eGoiiTxQ> at the UN over its links with G4S.



Leading Palestinian organisations and hundreds of international organisations have called on<http://emails.bdsnationalcommittee.org/l/pzaIBkivaexWRi4jwMaPdQ/jua1izpQpTrnATM8927630djcw/cpqATWiv8925L7J892eGoiiTxQ> the UN to cancel its contracts with G4S over the role it plays in violating human rights in prisons and detention centres it helps to run not only in Palestine but also in South Africa, the US, the UK and beyond.



Add your voice to our campaign<http://emails.bdsnationalcommittee.org/l/pzaIBkivaexWRi4jwMaPdQ/TLjBfAlybkiIcvSU1AZIIw/cpqATWiv8925L7J892eGoiiTxQ> now and please the share action page widely.



Many thanks,
