“Today’s ruling reflects a broader pattern in which israeli occupation courts function to legitimize unlawful detention and state violence in cases involving Palestinians and their allies,” the Global Sumud Flotilla reacted to the decision.

In a hearing on Sunday, May 3, an Israeli court extended the imprisonment of Global Sumud Flotilla activists Saif Abukeshek and Thiago Ávila until Tuesday, following the illegal interception of vessels in international waters and the seizure of over 170 activists by occupation forces.

Both activists are on hunger strike and held in Shikma Prison, according to communications by the Global Sumud Flotilla and Adalah Center, whose legal experts are representing Abukeshek and Ávila. “The prison is known for being used to detain Palestinian prisoners under harsh conditions, most recently being used to imprison civilians abducted from Gaza as part of israel’s genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people,” the Global Sumud Flotilla warned.
