Rejected petition Free Gilad Shalit
More details
'For over five years, Gilad Shalit has been held hostage, since 25 June 2006. It is believed he is being held somehwere in Southern Gaza. Since his capture, his parents have only received three handwritten letters from him.'
'The International Red Cross has been denied access to Gilad, and his exact whereabouts and physical conditions are unknown. On August 28th 2011, Gilad will turn 25 years old. According to the Geneva Convention, every prisoner of war is entitled to be visited by representatives of the International Red Cross. '
He has been held hostage for over 5 years and its about time he returned home safely. So far the Biritsh Government haven't applied enough pressure upon Global Organisations or The UN to secure his safe release.
