Diplomatic and local sources in Greece confirm that the vessel holding Saif Abukeshk and Thiago Ávila has left Greek territorial waters and is now headed toward occupied Palestine.
This is a dangerous escalation.
The Global Sumud (Perseverance) Flotilla was violently attacked in international waters Wednesday night. GSF members were illegally abducted by the IOF (Israeli Occupation Forces) where they faced physical and verbal violence. Most members have now been released, but Saif and Thiago are still being held by the IOF and face immediate and serious risk of further abuse.
The governments of Spain, Brazil, Sweden, Italy, and Greece must act now. We urge them to take all necessary actions to secure their release and prevent further violations.
This is the moment to move. Inaction enables further attacks on civilian efforts to break the siege on Gaza.
Call the embassies. Pressure foreign ministries. Demand their freedom.
