Gaza flotilla activists allege detention and assault by Israeli prison guards
Two Gaza flotilla activists, Noa Avishag Schnall and Anna Liedtke, describe being abducted and assaulted by Israeli prison guards during detention last fall after a Gaza-bound flotilla attempt. Their first-person account details guards seizing them, beating them and subjecting them to other mistreatment while they were held alongside fellow activists. The allegations raise questions about detention conditions and human rights oversight for activists arrested after maritime protests.
I condemn the Israeli assault on the Global Sumud Flotilla, a peaceful civilian humanitarian initiative. The unlawful detention of flotilla participants in international waters violates international law. 1/2
I urge Canada to condemn Israel’s illegal actions and ensure the safety of abducted Canadians. It is well past time for Canada to suspend CIFTA and sanction Israel. 2/2
Waiting for our PM to denounce it and condemn it under international law. Israel should be sanctioned for piracy. When he will not use the word genocide I better not hold my breath.
Thank you for your moral compass.
Two friends of mine from Ukraine, Andrii Movchan and Potarska, were abducted and subject to horrific treatment. Both have since been released, but Nina is in hospital recovering from injuries inflicted by IOF soldiers
Has this government condemned any of Israel's disgusting actions?
The NDP is the only party actively defending Canadians victimized by the criminal state of Israel.
