subject line: Urgent Appeal for the Immediate Release of Australian Citizens Robert Martin and Tania Safi
Dear Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, I am writing to urgently appeal for the immediate intervention and assistance of the Australian Government in securing the release of Robert Martin and Tania Safi, Australian citizens detained after participating in a peaceful humanitarian mission. Robert Martin and Tania Safi were on board a small civilian vessel carrying baby formula and vital aid to a starving population when they were arrested in international waters, an act that constitutes a clear violation of international law. This is not a criminal matter but a humanitarian effort. Robert Martin, Tania Safi, and others aboard the vessel were providing life-saving support to Palestinians where governments have failed. Their seizure is effectively a kidnapping, as they were taken against their will and are being held without just cause. Australia must act swiftly and decisively to uphold the rights and safety of its citizens. What is the government doing to ensure the safe and immediate return of Robert Martin and Tania Safi and to challenge the illegality of their detention? We respectfully urge DFAT to expedite diplomatic efforts and publicly demand their release. Australians undertaking humanitarian action should not be abandoned. Sincerely,
