‘Shhh or I’ll shoot you’: family of jailed Christian woman tell of Israeli raid

Troops took Layan Nasir away at gunpoint from her home in the West Bank and her parents haven't been told where she is

The Israeli troops arrived at about 4am last Saturday to take 23-year-old Layan Nasir away at gunpoint from her parents home in the West Bank town of Birzeit. There was no arrest warrant or charges, and her parents haven't been notified where she is held.

The only Palestinian Christian woman currently in Israeli detention, her case has been raised by the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. I'm shocked and deeply concerned," he said in a post on X. Please pray for Layan's safety and swift release."
