LESS than two weeks after The AJN launched its campaign calling on the United Nations to step up its efforts to secure the release of Gilad Shalit, more than 2000 readers have rallied to the cause, signing the letter available on jewishnews.net.au 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 urged their readers to do likewise.
The AJN will personally deliver the signed letters to the UN later this month.
