Headline: “Marking Prisoner’s Day in the Faqqua High School for Girls”

“The Jenin Education Directorate (i.e., branch of the PA Ministry of Education) yesterday, Thursday [April 18, 2019], marked Palestinian Prisoner’s Day in the Faqqua High School for Girls east of Jenin.

Jenin District Deputy Governor Mansour Al-Sa’adi praised the role of the Education Directorate and the teaching staff in educating the students about the national identity, and protecting them from the plots being woven against our cause and national project.

He called on the masses of our people to stand firm and to unite around our legal leadership, and mentioned [PA] President [Mahmoud Abbas’] honorable standpoints towards the prisoners and their cause, the latest of which was his insistence on paying what the prisoners and Martyrs’ relatives are entitled to, even if [only] one penny remains in the Palestinian national coffers (refers to Abbas’ response to Israeli Anti “Pay-for-Slay” Law to deduct terrorist salaries; see note below –Ed.).”
