Subject: Immediate Action Needed to Protect Kidnapped Humanitarian Civilians Dear Ministry of Foreign Affairs of [German], The [German] citizen Yasemin Acar and 11 other citizens have been kidnapped by Israeli forces during a peaceful humanitarian mission in international waters. The boat they were aboard was not heading to Israel, but to the territory of Palestine. They were carrying humanitarian aid for the civilians of Gaza, who have endured unimaginable suffering for decades. This action by Israeli forces constitutes a grave violation of international law. Abducting peaceful civilians delivering aid cannot be justified under any legal or moral framework. Israel has repeatedly ignored international law and continues to act with impunity—endangering not only those on this mission but the broader fabric of global justice and accountability. As a representative of your nation, you carry a responsibility to act. It is imperative that you use all available diplomatic and political channels to ensure the immediate safety and release of these individuals. Likewise, it is your duty to reconsider and end any form of support or collaboration with a state that consistently violates human rights and international laws. You have the power to protect not only the civilians aboard the Madleen, but also the people of Gaza and the many brave individuals who step in where governments have failed. Your response will help determine whether justice and human dignity prevail—or whether these lives are abandoned to silence. We urge you to act with courage and integrity. The world is watching. Sincerely, [Your Name] Citizen of [Your Country] This letter is supported by Digital Dignity e.V. (https://digitaldignity.io)
