The Palestine Forum of New Zealand expresses its deep alarm and outrage at the abduction of Rana Hamida, Samuel Leason, and Youssef Sammour. These three New Zealanders, committed to justice and human rights, have been unlawfully taken while engaging in peaceful advocacy for Palestine. Their abduction is a grave violation of international law and human rights principles. We call on the New Zealand Government to take urgent and decisive action to ensure the immediate and safe release of Youssef, Rana, and Samuel. The Palestine Forum of New Zealand stands firmly with Youssef, Rana, and Samuel, and with all who are unjustly detained for their commitment to freedom and human dignity.
