sounds like a fraudulent visa? or what happened?
Thank you for following Shannon’s story. We don’t have many details now but we know she is safe, we know she did have issues with her visa/passport. Shannon is on her way home.
Our family would like to thank everyone who pulled together and took their personal time and energy in to seeing Shannon’s return. People who do not know Shannon printed pictures of her and walked the streets of Taba, Dahab, Cairo and Jerusalem for the last 3 days looking for her. Activists all over the US, Egypt, Israel and all over the world joined together to see her return.
Shannon traveled to Egypt and Israel on a mission for human rights, freedom for all and for peace. Our family hopes this small discomfort we have experienced the last few days will help open the eyes of the world to the inhumanity in Gaza specifically but also to any part of the world where people are experiencing oppression.
In peace, love and solidarity,
Kristen Coughlin Carr
Glad she is ok.
Great news! I’m so glad to hear she’s okay.
I’m relieved to hear this good news and I’m glad she’s safe and sound on her way home to her family.
