This was the first image we took on July 28 after our release from Nigerian DSS captivity where the @wewereneverlost team was illegally caged under inhumane conditions for 3 weeks.
Rudy Rochman, Noam Leibman, and David Benaym were cleared of all suspicissions but nonetheless deported from Nigeria and have just landed in Israel as of July 29 (20th of Av) 11AM.
Thank you to everyone’s thoughts, prayers and actions that lead to our liberation.
