'What they've been enduring is horrific': Fears for two activists detained on Gaza flotilla

After the Global Sumud Flotilla was intercepted last Wednesday night in international waters off Greece, activists have called for 'accountability for illegal kidnap' and sanctions against Israel

Drones swarmed around the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) moments before fleets of speedboats approached them in international waters — the first sign of Israel’s approach on Wednesday evening.

Catríona Graham, from Dublin, had been in a meeting with Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila just before their interception and Saif Abukeshek, a Spanish national of Palestinian origin was also on board. Both men have been detained since by Israel with reports that they have been tortured and threatened with death.
