Amnesty Werkgroep Bennekom

In oktober 2009, werd  Saed Yassin na 3 jaar Administratieve Detentie in Israël, vrijgelaten. Tot grote schrik van hemzelf, zijn gezin en Amnesty, werd hij echter in december 2009 opgepakt en vastgezet door de Palestijnse Autoriteiten. Opnieuw in administratieve detentie. De werkgroep Amnesty International is dan ook heel blij dat Saed op 28 februari 2010 is vrijgelaten. Hieronder het bericht van Amnesty en de brief van Saed, die hij direct na zijn vrijlating heeft geschreven.

Saed Yassin told Amnesty International on 1 March 2010:
“My priority is to go and have a complete medical check-up. I’ll see the doctor tomorrow and hopefully the diagnosis will be good. I missed life, I missed my children, and my wife who was so worried, and just living a normal life. My children suffered so much. When they visited me, they were so frightened they couldn’t speak, not even a word. Now I’d like to spend more time with them and try to help them get over their fear, make them happy and protect them from this trauma. I’d like to thank Amnesty International members and employees who have done so much for me and for my family. Yours is a generous organization that doesn’t forget any lost prisoner. I was lucky that I got to go home, but others have been convicted in unfair trials and are detained for much longer periods.”
