Barbra Streisand denounces ‘horror’ facing female hostages in Gaza
Singer Barbra Streisand tweets about the “horror” of female Israeli hostages being held in Gaza and calls for them all to be released.
Sharing a link to a New York Times article from March in which released hostage Amit Soussana spoke out about her sexual abuse during captivity, Streisand says that it “goes without saying that hostages are suffering and must be released now.”
She adds that: “There is an additional horror for female hostages. What they endure in terms of sexual violence should be – as the UN said, ‘clear and convincing’ to all. It should also be unequivocally denounced.”
