Palestinian activists and civil society representatives on Thursday held contacts with a group of stakeholders in Jenin in attempt to mobilize support for the Palestinian prisoners’ cause.
Coordinator for the popular committee to release the detainees Ragheb Abu Diak said a round of visits was held by activists in Jenin so as to raise the prisoners’ issue.
Director-General of Jenin’s local government Iyad Khalaf stressed the need to speak up for the Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails which he said is a moral duty.
Head of Jenin branch at al-Quds Open University Emad Nazal said the administration teaching staff and students will join the mass rallies and events staged in support for the prisoners’ cause.
