The Palestinian human rights activist affirmed that the supportive activities in 1948-occupied Palestine for the prisoners in the occupation jails will continue mentioning several events organized by 1948-Palestinians in solidarity with prisoners. Amri said that the Islamic movement has decided to organize a Festival in solidarity with the prisoners on 11th May, and an international conference that will be held next Monday in Hakawati Theater in occupied Jerusalem, in coordination between the European Network for the Defense of Palestinian prisoners, Yusuf Asseddik foundation, and the Jerusalemite Families Committee, in addition to a students’ event at Haifa University.
