BREAKING: 137 Sumud Flotilla participants have been flown to Tรผrkiye on a plane coordinated by Ankaraโ€™s embassy in Tel Aviv. One freed activist describes their ordeal: โ€œNo medicine. No water for 32 hours. Barely any food. At 3 a.m. they stormed our rooms with dogs and snipers, waking us every two hours. If this is how they treat us as civilians, imagine what Palestinians go through.โ€
โš ๏ธ Testimony from aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla: โ€œThey dragged Greta by her hair, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag โ€” all in front of us. They wanted to make an example,โ€ recounts Turkish activist Ersin ร‡elik. The world must not stay silent. Demand answers. Demand accountability. Demand justice. image
