Holy Land: Urgent prayer request for Layan Nasir

Layan with Rev Sewell and supporters at St George's College, Jerusalem

Rev Richard Sewell, Dean of St George's College, Jerusalem, has asked for our prayers for Layan Nasir. This young Christian woman was abducted from her family home in the West Bank town of Birzeit, in April last year. She was held without charge under Administrative Detention in an Israeli prison for ten months.

Layan was released in December, but is waiting for a court case to happen. An earlier hearing was postponed.

A new legal meeting is due to take place tomorrow, 26 May.

Rev Sewell says: "We need a just and true outcome that winds up the protracted case which has caused so much misery."
