Shoman told Al-Quds.com: "After the meeting held by the national and Islamic forces, it was agreed on a national program that begins on the sixteenth of this month, with a press conference to announce the program that sheds light on the issue of prisoners, and in the evening of the same day, a job will be ignited."

According to Shoman, the Prisoner's Day program will focus on the issue of prisoners, specifically the cancer-stricken prisoners Walid Daqqa and Asif al-Rifai. The program will also focus on the issue of prisoners whose bodies are kept in the occupation's refrigerators.

On the other hand, Shoman explained that the central activities on the day of the prisoner, on the seventeenth of this month, will start with marches in city centers at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, in all places of Palestinian presence, including the diaspora.

Shoman stressed that the Prisoner's Day comes this year in light of the oppression of the prisoners by the extreme right-wing occupation government, as they were going to enter into a confrontation, but they won before Ramadan, as well as in light of the imposition of racist laws on them and attempts to impose other laws.

Shoman called on the Palestinian people to stand by the captive movement inside the prisons of the occupation and to participate in the activities of the Prisoner's Day. He also called on the captive movement to maintain its unity in the Supreme Emergency Committee that represents everyone, as it is a safety valve for their unity, as well as the need for human rights institutions to stand by the prisoners. .
