Hamas Movement has mourned the South African human rights activist and cleric Dr. Clint Le Bruyns who was a prominent activist against the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
Dr. Basem Naim a member of the International Relations Office of Hamas Movement said in a statement on Thursday evening that his Movement is deeply saddened by the death of the human rights activist Le Bruyns.
Naim added that Le Bruyns was a loyal activist of justice and had fought for decades for justice in the social economic and political fields across South Africa and the world including opposing the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
He noted that Le Bruyns participated in 2015 in the Freedom Flotilla which was trying to break the Israeli blockade on Gaza and communicated with the Christian community in Palestine for many years to highlight the discriminatory policies of Israel against Christians.
Naim wished his family and friends strength and patience and extended his sincerest condolences and sympathy to the people of South Africa.
