A small group of activists block a major Tel Aviv route in a call for the Shin Bet to investigate the disappearance of Haymanut Kasau, who was 9 when she went missing in Safed over two years ago.
The group from coexistence organization “Standing Together” hold signs on Rokach Boulevard calling for the security agency to take a role in the probe into the child’s disappearance.
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has given her approval for the intelligence agency to join the search for Kasau, but there has been little to no progress in the case since then.
Kasau was last seen on February 25, 2024, in Safed on security camera footage at 7:45 p.m., handing out municipal election leaflets with her friends outside the Jewish Agency absorption center where she had lived since her family arrived in Israel from Ethiopia three years earlier.
כ-20 פעילי ״עומדים ביחד״, חסמו עתה את דרך רוקח מערב, בקריאה לשב״כ להתערב בחקירת היעלמות היימנוט קסאו, שנעדרת מזה כשנתיים וחודשיים. בנוסף לחסימת הכביש, הפעילים נתלים באמצעות סנפלינג מהגשר הסמוך, אוחזים בשלט גדול ועליו הכיתוב ״אין חגיגה בלי היימנוט״ – תזכורת ליום הולדתה שחל באחרונה pic.twitter.com/Ftv996o9Wm
