TD's Partner Calls on Tánaiste to Address His Detention
- Paul Murphy, a TD representing People Before Profit-Solidarity, along with several activists, was detained by Egyptian officials on June 13, 2025, while they were attempting to proceed on a march toward the Rafah border crossing into Gaza.
- The detention followed Egyptian authorities confiscating passports and attempting to force marchers onto a bus, believed to be for deportation, as part of a crackdown on the Global March to Gaza.
- The march involves participants from over 50 countries seeking to demand an end to Israel's blockade and the delivery of humanitarian aid to starving people in Gaza amid a 20-month-long crisis.
- Mr. Murphy shared on social media that their passports were seized and they were being held against their will, while also confirming their refusal to board the deportation bus; meanwhile, People Before Profit urged the Irish government to intervene.
- The incident prompted calls for diplomatic pressure on Egypt to release those detained and allow the peaceful march to proceed, highlighting wider concerns regarding the humanitarian crisis and restrictions at Rafah crossing.
