Lara, speaking from Brazil, has had no contact with her husband, Thiago Ávila, since he was abducted and detained illegally by Israeli forces from the 'Madleen'. Since then, Thiago has been placed in solitary confinement, denied communication with his family.
According to Lara, Israeli authorities threatened Thiago with the psychological torment of isolation without light or ventilation. Despite this, Thiago remains on hunger strike, holding firm to his belief in justice for Palestinians and the right of every child to food, safety, and freedom.
From his prison cell, he wrote a letter to his 1-year-old daughter. Lara generously shares that with us today.
This is a call not just for Thiago’s release—but for the world to pay attention to Gaza, to Palestine, and to all people who are exploited, forced to live under occupation.
