AJN readers rally for Gilad
JUST days after The AJN launched its campaign calling on the United Nations to step up its efforts to secure the release of Gilad Shalit, well over 1000 readers have rallied to the cause, signing the letter we published in last week's paper and online to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
JUST days after The AJN launched its campaign calling on the United Nations to step up its efforts to secure the release of Gilad Shalit, well over 1000 readers have rallied to the cause, signing the letter we published in last week’s paper and online to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
The initiative, marking the fourth anniversary of the young Israeli soldier’s kidnapping by Hamas, has also gone international, after two Jewish newspapers overseas picked up on the story and decided to urge their readers to do likewise.
Every day since last Thursday’s launch hundreds of letters have poured into the office from across Australia — The AJN is planning to deliver them to the UN in New York later this month.
And it’s not too late to add your voice to the chorus calling for Gilad’s freedom.
