Geneva: Thiago Ávila and Saif Abu Shek were not released with the other participants after interception and are currently taken by Israel. They have been abducted by Israel and are being kept under unlawful detention. Being in international waters to deliver aid to Gaza is not a crime. Israel continues to be allowed to act with imputing and face no consequences for illegal actions and violations of international law. UN member states must act now The reported torture of a civilian activists, combined with the unlawful transfer of detainees from European waters, marks a dangerous escalation with far-reaching legal and moral consequences. Failure to act now risks not only the safety and lives of Saif Abukeshek and Thiago Ávila, but further erodes the credibility of international law in the face of ongoing atrocities in Gaza. All the UN member states must take immediate action to ensure the safety of all flotilla participants and the release of Thiago and Saif. Release them now!!!!!!
