Romano was captured again for his participation the Global Sumud Flotilla which departed Barcelona (envisaging at different stages 70-100 boats) and headed to Gaza to break the siege on April 15, 2026, more than 20 boats were intercepted on April 31 by Israeli forces. He and many comrades were subject to extreme violence by Israeli commandos in the “Torture Ship”, before they were transferred to Greek authorities near Crete.
54 GSF vessels set sail again from Crete, heading to Gaza, and were intercepted again on May 18 by Israeli commandos. They were again beaten and tortured by Israeli commandos in the “Torture Ship”, until they were delivered to Israeli police at Ashdod, an Israeli port.
Romano stated they were again subject to intense violence by the Israeli police. He was tortured for one hour and a half with extremely tight handcuffs that were so tight, his hands were swollen like balloons before they were finally loosened. Then they were transferred to Ketziot prison, in the Negev desert, where they faced harsh conditions before being deported.
