Murderer of Diplomats Must Face Justice

Washington, D.C.– In response to the murder of two employees of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, Human Rights First’s President and CEO, Uzra Zeya, said the following:

“The brutal murder of two young members of this city’s diplomatic community is a shocking reminder of rising antisemitism long opposed by Human Rights First. I condemn this attack and extend my condolences to the family and friends of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, and to the Israeli Embassy. Politically motivated and hate-fueled violence is anathema to the functioning of a free society, and the perpetrator must face justice. I stand in solidarity with all those committed to putting an end to antisemitic violence.”
