“For all those who care about the fate of the hostages, the release of Mia Schem is obviously a huge relief”rejoices Thursday, November 30 on franceinfo Sacha Ghozlan, lawyer for families of hostages and ex-hostages and co-founder of the AV7 collective. “We were waiting for it” this liberation “and we are very happy to know that this evening she is reunited with her mother, her father, her loved ones”he insists.

However, “this relief is incomplete because we know that more than 140 hostages are still being held in the Gaza Strip, including Eliya Toledano, one of his friends, a Franco-Israeli about whom we have no news. We demand his immediate and unconditional release “says Sacha Ghozlan. “For Mia and her family, it is the time of reunion, the time of reconstruction. She returns among the living, she returns to society, we must support her with all the kindness she deserves”adds the lawyer.

“We have no information on the hostages who are being held within the Gaza Strip. The hostages who have been released speak relatively little publicly, precisely because there are still some who are being held.”indicates Sacha Ghozlan, “and therefore revealing information on the conditions of their detention, on the places where they found themselves could put the lives of the other hostages at risk. There is little information filtering out at this stage on their conditions of detention” .
