BRASILEIRO TORTURADO SOB CUSTÓDIA DE ISRAEL: RELATOS CONFIRMADOS PELA EMBAIXADA APONTAM ESPANCAMENTO ATÉ A INCONSCIÊNCIA, RISCO DE CEGUEIRA PERMANENTE E MORTE As informações já foram confirmadas pela própria Embaixada do Brasil. O cidadão brasileiro Thiago Ávila está sendo submetido a graves violações de direitos humanos por forças israelenses. Não se trata de relato, de boato ou de versão disputada. Trata-se de informação oficial. Thiago foi espancado de forma brutal, com inúmeros golpes direcionados ao rosto, a ponto de não conseguir sequer abrir os olhos. O olho esquerdo apresenta risco concreto de PERDA DE VISÃO PERMANENTE, evidenciando a intensidade da violência empregada. Há indícios de múltiplas costelas quebradas, compatíveis com agressões reiteradas e de alta intensidade física. Durante a condução forçada, foi ameaçado de ser jogado ao mar pelos soldados, o que por si só já configura tratamento cruel, desumano e degradante, além de indicar risco real à sua vida. Como se não bastasse, houve também ameaças dirigidas à sua família no Brasil, ampliando o quadro de intimidação e violência psicológica. O nível de violência foi tão extremo que ele DESMAIOU DUAS VEZES em decorrência das agressões, o que demonstra não apenas a brutalidade dos atos, mas também o risco concreto à sua integridade física e à sua vida. E mais: soldados israelenses disseram a ele que destruiriam seu corpo a ponto de impedir qualquer participação futura em novas missões humanitárias, o que reforça o caráter deliberado e punitivo das agressões. Isso tem nome. À luz do Direito Internacional, especialmente das normas que vedam a TORTURA e protegem a integridade física de pessoas sob custódia estatal, estamos diante de condutas que podem se enquadrar como tortura e tratamento desumano, práticas absolutamente proibidas em qualquer circunstância. Nenhuma justificativa política, militar ou de segurança autoriza esse tipo de conduta contra um civil, ainda mais um cidadão estrangeiro sob custódia. A situação é gravíssima. Estamos falando de um brasileiro que teve sua integridade física violada, sua vida colocada em risco e sua dignidade atacada enquanto estava sob controle de agentes estatais. Isso exige resposta. Não apenas diplomática, mas também jurídica, internacional e imediata. O que está acontecendo não pode ser normalizado. Não pode ser relativizado. E, sobretudo, não pode ficar impune.

🚨We are deeply concerned for the safety of activists #SaifAbuKeshek and #ThiagoAvila who are being taken to #Israel for questioning after being arbitrarily detained by the Israeli military after the unlawful interception of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla vessels in international waters. 🚨The two activists were participating in a peaceful solidarity mission aiming to break Israel's unlawful blockade of the #Gaza Strip and deliver aid to Palestinians struggling to survive under Israel’s genocide and unlawful occupation. 🚨They are at great risk of human rights abuses, including torture and other ill-treatment given @amnesty's previous documentation of the abuse inflicted on flotilla activists detained in October 2025 at the hands of the Israeli authorities 🚨It is especially concerning that Saif Abu Keshek, a Palestinian-Spanish-Swedish national, is being detained on suspicion of affiliation with a terrorist organization given Israel's discriminatory laws and persistent record of harassment and oppression of Palestinians under Israel’s system of apartheid. Israel must immediately release them and ensure they are protected while in custody. 🚨Israel’s defiance of international law must end. The ICJ has been clear: Israel’s #occupation is #unlawful and must be brought to an end. States must act now to restore some faith in international law by holding Israel accountable for its violations and crimes.

BREAKING: The Israeli naval vessel that abducted the 180 Sumud Flotilla crews off the coast of Crete (an act of piracy and a gross violation of the Law of the Sea) is intend on victimising two of them: Saif Abukeshek, a Spanish citizen of Palestinian origin, and Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian citizen who has distinguished himself with repeated attempts to break the illegal, genocidal, Israeli blockage of Gaza. Unlike the remaining abducted members of the Sumud Flotilla crew, which the Israeli navy disembarked in Crete, Saif and Thiago are detained and bound for an Israeli prison. This is a double violation of International Law: First, Israel abducted them illegally at sea. Second, Israel is now transporting them, violently, illegally, to one of its notorious prisons. Meanwhile, the Greek government is cooperating fully in Israel’s criminal behaviour, effectively surrendering its search and rescue obligations and conniving with Israel to victimise the brave crews of the Sumud Flotilla who are steadfastly, through their activism, defending International Law as well as the verdict of the International Court of Justice which has clearly and unequivocally declared Israel’s continued naval blockade of Gaza and its occupation of the Palestinian territories illegal. Through their complicity and their silence, the Greek government, the European Union, the mainstream media, the West more generally, are flouting, indeed they are trashing, their supposed, much publicised, ‘Western values’. Let us all demand: · The immediate release of Saif and Thiago · An end to Israel’s criminal behaviour in international waters · The termination of Israel’s illegal Gaza blockade · That the Greek government and the European Union cease and desist from lending logistical and moral support to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its ethnic cleansing campaigns in E. Jerusalem and the West Bank

The Green Party calls on the Labour gov to demand the IDF release the prisoners captured from the Global Sumud Flotilla for Gaza Zack Polanski, "Last night the Israeli Defence Force intercepted 20 boats at the Global Summit Flotilla. It's really important that the UK government immediately condemn this illegal act and demand the release of all the prisoners, including Green Party candidate for Hampshire, Zak Khan" Hannah Spencer, "The Global Summit Flotilla, made up of 70 vessels carrying more than 3,000 people" Baroness Jones, "Has actually been intercepted by Israeli boats on their way to deliver humanitarian aid to to Gaza to Palestinians" Sian Berry, "Who have been facing genocide at the hands of the Israeli government for over two and a half years" Mothin Ali, "We're about six months into the so called ceasefire, but Israel's genocidal acts Continue. With over 700 Palestinians killed in Gaza since the agreement" Rachel Millward, "The Green Party sends our solidarity and thanks to everyone who's sailing to confront this genocide, a genocide that our government is complicit in" Adrian Ramsey, "It shouldn't be up to civilians to deliver aid and, uh, demand that international law is upheld" Carla Denyer, "Time and time again the government has called this situation intolerable and yet they've continued to tolerate it. Enough is enough" Ellie Chowns, "The UK government must do everything in its power to ensure safe passage for the flotilla, to stop all arms exports to Israel immediately, and to end the ongoing genocide"

They were not intercepted. They were abducted in international waters. This is piracy - and is a flagrant violation of international law.

@BBCWorld WRONG. ISRAELIS ILLEGALLY SIEZED THOSE BOATS IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS AMOST A THOUSAND KILOMETERS FROM ISRAEL, ILLEGALLY DETAINED THEIR OCCUPANTS AND SHREDDED INTERNATIONAL LAW BY DOING SO. SPEAK THE FUCKING TRUTH!!!

I asked the government how many air strikes on Iran the US has conducted from British air bases, and how many civilian casualties they have caused. They refused to answer.

It is strange how the world can cooperate to get oil through the Iranian blockade at the Strait of Hormuz but still aren't able to get food through the US and Israeli blockade of Gaza and Cuba. International law is not optional that you invoke only when it suits you. Let's call it what it is: weaponized international law.

The decision by BBC Scotland to push the ‘migrants jumping housing queue’ narrative is a clear move to help Reform. The SNP is targeting Farage’s party as it chases a majority. BBC Scotland knows Sarwar is toast, hence the pivot to a racist narrative.

The government has spent the past two years turning a blind eye to war crimes in Gaza. Now, the Foreign Office unit that tracks Israeli breaches of international law has closed altogether. This is the last stage of British complicity: pretend it never happened at all.

@rory_donaghy @J_113CSC I remember this father and son well….free Palestine 💔🇯🇴
