“THIAGO ÁVILA AND SAIF ABUKESHEK ARE FREE” (FIDH, 2026-05-10) https://www.instagram.com/p/DYJlHNUCCni/ ——— >> While they are now free, #Adalah and #FIDH condemn the entire process as a flagrant violation of international law. >> From their abduction in international waters to their unlawful detention in total isolation and the ill-treatment they were subjected to, the Israeli authorities’ actions were a punitive attack on a purely civilian mission. >> Whilst human rights violations continue to be committed on a daily basis by the Israeli authorities in Gaza, FIDH and Adalah will continue to work and fight to put an end to this impunity. 📸BURAK AKBULUT / ANADOLU via AFP #BreakTheSiege #Gaza #palestine #accountability @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com
