Israeli court extends detention of two Gaza flotilla activists until May 10
The court extended their detention for interrogation as Spain and Brazil challenged Israel’s allegations and rights group Adalah said no charges have been filed.
- On Tuesday, an Israeli court extended the detention of Spanish national Saif Abu Keshek and Brazilian Thiago Avila until May 10. The pair, arrested aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla intercepted near Greece, face interrogation without formal charges.
- Israeli forces intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters near Greece while it attempted to break the blockade of Gaza. Israel claims the activists are linked to the Popular Conference, a group it alleges acts for Hamas.
- Adalah reported the men have been on hunger strike for six days while held in isolation. Lawyers allege they face mistreatment, including 'high-intensity lighting' and 'extremely cold temperatures,' though authorities reject these claims.
- Governments of Spain and Brazil called the detention illegal, while Adalah's lawyers argued there was an 'unlawful abduction' in international waters. Judge Yaniv Ben-Haroush stated he was convinced there is 'reasonable suspicion' to continue the legal proceedings.
- Due to the hunger strikes, the court ordered the Prison Service to monitor the detainees' medical condition. Adalah said it would appeal the decision and demand the immediate release of Abu Keshek and Avila.
