Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 December 2012
117. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will raise the status and whereabouts of Ayman Taleb Abustah a prisoner in the Israeli prison system with the Israeli authorities. [55115/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am aware of reporting in relation to this individual by an Irish film maker who was recently in Gaza. My Department had not previously had any record of contact in relation to him, from family or NGOs. The NGO with which we usually deal on prisoners’ issues do not have any record of him. Another NGO has a record of an Ayman Taleb Abu Siteh, who is likely to be the same individual, but very limited information on his current status. I am having further enquiries made, including with the Israeli authorities.
