Take Action: Demand Israel releases Khalil Al Halabi – imprisoned without conviction for almost five years

Dear friends,

My name is Khalil Al Halabi, the father of Mohammad Al Halabi, the former World Vision-Australia director for the West Bank and Gaza.

Mohammad was arrested on false allegations in June 2016 and is held in the notorious Ramon Prison in Israel. UN experts have called for his release.

I am calling on all friends of Palestine to participate in a Month of Action in January by sending the following letter to the Irish Government demanding action to secure my innocent son’s immediate release.

Our family, including Mohammed’s five young children, are desperate to have him free and home again. We have lost more than four years of loving family life together.

Mohammed has been forced to attend court 154 times… attendance #155 will be on 31 January 2021.

Please help my son.

Khalil Al Halabi

Dear Minister Coveney On humanitarian grounds I am writing to ask you to use Ireland's influence to ensure that Israel immediately and unconditionally releases Mohammad Al Halabi held in Ramon Prison. Mr. Al Halabi, former Gaza director of the World Vision charity, has been imprisoned for almost five years by Israel, yet despite 154 court appearances, has not been convicted of any crime. UN experts have called for his release. I demand his release because: 1) the allegations against Mr. Al Halabi have been proven false through forensic investigations by the Australian Government and World Vision International. 2) Mr. Al Halabi's physical and mental state is gravely deteriorating after having been beaten, tortured and callously forced to futilely attend court over 150 times. 3) Israel as a UN member is obligated to uphold and protect Mr. Al Halabi’s human rights. Mr. Al Halabi is a protected person under international humanitarian law, and is entitled to all of the protections of the Fourth Geneva Convention I further demand the release of all Palestinian political prisoners held in violation of international law. I trust you will raise Mr. Al Halabi's case with the relevant authorities and use Ireland's influence to secure his release so he can return to his life and family. Yours sincerely,

Share this!
