OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- A delegation of prisoners' families committee, Palestinian Islamic and national forces representatives, and the Palestinian Prisoners Society in Jerusalem handed, on Monday, a letter to the official envoy of the Quartet, Tony Blair about the prisoners' strike in occupation prisons.
