Official PA TV News
Official PA TV newsreader: “At a rally supporting elderly prisoner Fuad Al-Shubaki (i.e., PA official and weapons smuggler), the [Fatah] Commission of Martyrs and Prisoners’ Affairs in Gaza demanded that the human rights organizations and international institutions stop the Israeli violations against the prisoners and release prisoner Fuad Al-Shubaki.”
East Gaza Branch Representative of the Fatah Commission of Martyrs, Prisoners, and Wounded Ramez Al-Rifi: “We chose this site – the office and home of leader [Fuad] ‘Abu Hazem’ Al-Shubaki, which has a special symbolism and status in the hearts of the Palestinian people – in order to launch this activity from it, and we announce here that we are going to hold a series of activities to support our heroic prisoners in the occupation’s prisons.”
Official PA TV reporter: “The hundreds of participants in this rally of support for the prisoners did not ignore the suffering of the prisoners, in the shadow of the occupation’s systematic policy against them, and the variety of acts of oppression and abuse, up to the point of the spread of the Coronavirus among the prisoners, and the prison management’s contempt and its refusal to provide the vaccines they need (sic., Israel has already offered and provided Coronavirus vaccines to prisoners wishing to be vaccinated).”
