Text in first comment: “Today, Wednesday [Jan. 11, 2023], the [PA] Ministry of Education gave 40,000 letters written by the students of Palestine to free man Karim Younes (i.e., terrorist, murdered 1 together with an accomplice) on the occasion of his release, after he finished serving the entire term to which he was sentenced in the occupation’s prisons, whose length was more than 40 years.
Ministry [of Education] Undersecretary Dr. Nafa Assaf, Chairman of the [PA-funded] Prisoners’ Club Qadura Fares, and teams of the [PA] Ministry of Culture and the [Prisoners’] Club participated in the activity.
The [Prisoners’] Club launched this initiative in cooperation with the Ministry [of Education], with the guidance of [PA] Ministry of Culture [and Education] Dr. Marwan Awratani and Chairman of the [Prisoners’] Club Fares, under the title: 40,000 letters of loyalty to national role model Karim Younes and his comrades from among the veteran prisoners whose imprisonment has already lasted for decades in the occupation’s prisons.
Those responsible for the activity emphasized that the students’ letters reflect the great level of awareness regarding our most prominent and significant causes, and they come as a clear response to the occupation’s ongoing attempts to target the Palestinian collective consciousness, especially among the new generation, as part of it is the awareness regarding the first human cause, which is the prisoners’ cause. The participants emphasized the significant role that the Ministry of Education is fulfilling with all its teams and employees, which stood out with their great earnestness in accompanying this initiative that had many responses among the prisoners’ families and the prisoners themselves. They directed attention to how the students’ contributions were not only summed up by letters but drawings were also drawn, and various texts and poems were written.
The [PA] Ministry of Prisoners’ [Affairs] noted that popular activities in all the districts will begin in cooperation with all the institutions to celebrate the freedom of prisoner Maher Younes (i.e., terrorist, murdered 1 together with Karim Younes), the most veteran Palestinian prisoner, who will be released on [Jan.] 19, [2023].”
