💢 “I Heard People Screaming”: Flotilla Activist Describes Israeli Navy Attack in European Waters Hannah Smith, a representative of the Global Sumud Flotilla who was aboard the ships when Israeli forces raided them, told Democracy Now that activists were held in a makeshift prison of shipping containers and barbed wire for nearly two days, denied water and sanitary supplies, subjected to physical force, and left in freezing temperatures with jackets confiscated. When activists refused to leave without the six held in solitary confinement, “many people were beat, many people were dragged, I was held in a stress position for many hours,” Smith said. “I heard people being beat. I heard people screaming. I heard people being dragged around. It was absolutely horrifying.” She said one vessel, the Tam Tam, was left sinking after the Israeli navy attacked it. Of 56 vessels, 21 were intercepted. 34 remain in Crete. Saif Abukeshek’s wife Sally Issa, speaking from Barcelona, said activists who were freed in Greece had “broken noses and broken ribs” and that those aboard could hear her husband screaming during the journey. Spain and Brazil jointly condemned “this flagrantly illegal action by the Israeli authorities outside their jurisdiction.” Italy has opened a criminal investigation with prosecutors examining allegations of kidnapping (abduction), robbery, piracy, and causing damage with the risk of shipwreck. The probe was triggered by formal complaints regarding the detention of two lead activists. Both were reportedly seized from a boat flying the Italian flag in international waters near Crete, providing the legal basis for Italy's probe. 🎥 Video: Democracy Now

Nkosi Mandla Mandela among activists detained by Israel, Mandela calls for immediate release Mayibuye Melisizwe Mandela has added his voice to the growing global condemnation following the interception of a humanitarian flotilla bound for Gaza by Israeli authorities. The flotilla, aimed at delivering aid to besieged Palestinians, included Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandla Mandela, grandson of former South African President Nelson Mandela, climate activist Greta Thunberg, and nearly 500 other international activists. In a statement released on Thursday, Melisizwe Mandela described the detention as “unlawful and inhumane,” emphasizing that the flotilla’s mission was one of peace, solidarity, and humanitarian aid not conflict. He called on the international community, including the United Nations and the African Union, to intervene and ensure the immediate and safe release of those detained. “History will remember the courage of these activists who refused to look away,” Mandela said, invoking the words of his grandfather: “Our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinian people.” He added that the struggle of the Palestinian people is intrinsically linked to the global fight for justice and human rights. The statement concludes with a resounding call: “FREE MANDELA. FREE GAZA. FREE PALESTINE.” The detention has sparked widespread criticism from human rights organizations and world leaders, further intensifying calls for international action to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.
