60 days. Gaza peace hero Rami Aman has been rotting in Hamas prison now for 60 days.

His crime: a video chat with Israeli peace activists. Rami was also jailed one year ago for peace activism.

This Palestinian is risking his life and freedom for peace. Why is the world silent?
It's worse. Rami was ratted out by Amnesty International’s former research consultant Hind Khoudary, in a series of vituperative Facebook posts. She tagged 3 Hamas officials to get their attention, from her account listing herself as an Amnesty employee.

Think about it. Amnesty International was founded in 1961 to free prisoners of conscience. Yet they have refused over these 60 days to post one single tweet to #FreeRamiAman—no petitions, protests or campaigns. Even when their own ex-researcher is the one who put him behind bars.

1. Amnesty's ex-researcher Hind Khoudary now deleted her Twitter account—@hind_gaza—after NY Times reported she used her social media to incite Hamas to arrest Gaza peace activist Rami Aman for his Zoom call with Israeli activists.

2. Amnesty must call on Hamas to #FreeRamiAman.
She also appears to have deleted her Facebook account (facebook.com/HindUsama) which she used on April 9th to tag three Hamas officials & call their attention to Rami Aman's crime of holding a dialogue with pro-Palestinian Israeli peace activists. Mr. Aman has since disappeared.
Rami Aman heads the Gaza Youth Committee, "a pro-peace activist group & member of the Alliance for Middle East Peace. The Committee tries to unite Israelis & Palestinians, holding bicycle 'Rides for Peace' with people on either side of the Gaza border..."

One week ago today: Hamas arrested Gaza peace activist Rami Aman for his Zoom call with Israeli activists. He has since disappeared.

Shame on Amnesty International for refusing to call for his release—especially when their ex-researcher is the one who reported him. #FreeRamiAman
Amnesty International was founded to free political prisoners, and so it must speak out for Rami Aman. That their ex-researcher @hind_gaza reported him to Hamas while identifying herself as an "Amnesty International Research Consultant" only adds an additional moral duty.
To their credit Aman's arrest was reported by @olireports @guardian @KhaledAbuToameh @Jerusalem_Post @AFP @AP @Reuters @faznet @Telegraph; @halbfinger & @IyadAbuheweila @nytimes reported on Hind Khoudary's "angry denunciations on Facebook of Mr. Aman & tagging 3 Hamas officials."
