‼️ FLOTILLA ACTIVISTS RELEASED FROM IOF DETENTION ‼️

IOF abducted @/globalsumudflotilla leaders @/thiagoavilabrasil & @/abukeshek on April 30th off coast of Crete, Greece, less than month after Greece signed $750M arms deal w/ Israel’s Elbit systems — highly speculated that Greek govt cooperated w/ Israel to allow interception in Greek waters.

Their lawyers report both were subjected to abuse amounting to torture. Thiago testified that IOF beat him severely & dragged him across floor, making him pass out twice. Saif blindfolded, forced to lie face down on floor for days at sea.

Illegal detentions extended x2 over past 10 days. Extensions based on “secret evidence” their lawyers were NOT allowed to see.

Israel’s abduction this deep in international waters is highly unprecedented & a dangerous escalation — completely illegal in international law. Israel has NO jurisdiction over flotilla while it is in international waters.
