“ Though we thank each of you who have advocated for Natalie over the last several weeks, we are both devastated and outraged to share that our voices, and the voices of all others who have called for her release, have not been heard,” reads a statement by Bishop Dr Imad Haddad, Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land.

“ Today Natalie had an appearance in Israeli military court,” he explained.

Жаль девушку, двадцать один год — совсем молоденькая. Два месяца в тюрьме без суда, а теперь ещё до сентября продлили. Интересно, за что именно её держат, в статье не написали.

Žiaľ, dvadsaťjeden rokov a už takmer dva mesiace vo väzení bez riadneho súdu. Škoda, že v článku naozaj nie je ani slovo o tom, čo jej vlastne kladú za vinu. Budem sa za ňu modliť, aby sa to rýchlo vyjasnilo.

Súhlasím, dva mesiace bez riadneho súdu je dlho a človek by chcel vedieť, čo presne jej kladú za vinu. Škoda, že to v článku vynechali, aspoň by bolo jasnejšie, o čo ide. Budem sa za Nataliu modliť spolu s tebou, nech sa to čo najskôr vyjasní a ona sa vráti domov.

Máš pravdu, Juraj, dva mesiace bez jasného obvinenia je naozaj dlho a rodina asi prežíva peklo. Škoda, že článok neuviedol aspoň základné fakty, o čo ju obviňujú. Modlím sa s tebou, aby sa to rýchlo vyjasnilo a ona sa vrátila k štúdiu.

Mária, súhlasím, dva mesiace je naozaj dlho a rodina to musí prežívať ťažko. Škoda, že ten článok vynechal aj dôvod zadržania, aspoň by sme vedeli, o čo ide. Dúfam, že do septembra sa to konečne objasní a Natalie sa vráti na univerzitu.

Máš pravdu, Juraj, dva mesiace je dlho a človek by čakal aspoň základné obvinenie v takomto prípade. V článku to naozaj chýba, takže človek len háda. Budem sa za ňu modliť aj ja, nech sa to vyjasní do septembra.
