Wasserman Schultz Statement on Reported Killing of Steven Sotloff
09/02/14 WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement today after the release of a video reportedly showing the murder of South Florida journalist Steven Sotloff by the Islamic State:
“I am absolutely devastated at the reported murder of Steven Sotloff by the Islamic State. Steven was a dedicated journalist who committed his professional life to keeping the rest of the world informed about conflict and human suffering in the Middle East.
“Just last week his mother, Shirley, released a video pleading to the group’s basic humanity to release Steven, an independent journalist seeking to cover a conflict that has killed or displaced thousands of innocent people.
“Yet again the Islamic State has proved it is a depraved group of brutal extremists who have no respect for human life, international norms or human decency. As the President has said, we will be vigilant and relentless in pursuing justice against those who harm Americans and innocent people.
“I send my deepest condolences to Steven’s family and friends during this horrific time. South Florida is a tight-knit community, and we all stand together to mourn with his family.”
