Mansour Shouman, a Palestinian-Canadian father, son, and humanitarian was abducted on January 23rd, 2024 while traveling from Khan Younis to Rafah in Gaza. His work involved directly reporting from Gaza and providing aid to displaced and injured citizens impacted by the relentless campaign of violence by the IDF against Palestinians. This incident is not just an attack on one individual but a blatant disregard for human rights.

The abduction of Mansour is part of a larger issue where numerous civilians have been unlawfully detained without any charges or trial. According to B'Tselem - The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, as of December 2023, there were approximately 4,650 Palestinian detainees held in Israeli prisons (B'Tselem).

Mansour's work as a humanitarian was crucial in providing aid to those affected by this conflict. His absence has left many vulnerable individuals without support they desperately need.

We call upon the Government of Israel and IDF to immediately release Mansour Shouman and respect international laws regarding civilian protection during conflicts. We urge all global citizens who value human rights to join us in this plea for justice. Please sign this petition today.
