JAKARTA - The Malaysian government is ready to sue Israel to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over the alleged abduction and torture of Global Sumud Flotilla activists who brought humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
According to a MalayMail media report, Monday, May 25, Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Sharimengatakan Kuala Lumpur will initiate the legal process immediately after the team of lawyers completes the collection of information and supporting evidence.
More than 400 international activists in an armada that aimed to break Israel's naval blockade of the Gaza Strip to deliver the aid were attacked and detained by Israeli forces in international waters last week.
"We will not be silent, we will not stop. While the legal team is collecting all documentation of violations of international law, they (humanitarian activists) have been kidnapped more than once, they have been tortured," said Sharidalam the welcoming event for the return of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) 2.0 at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
The legal action was taken following alleged brutal acts, including the abduction and torture of fleet activists, especially participants from Malaysia.
"We will take this to international courts, we will continue to put diplomatic pressure, and we will also go around Malaysia," said the head of the state government of Selangor.
Shari added that this step will also be followed by continued diplomatic pressure by the government to demand full liberation of Gaza. Although the GSF 2.0 mission has ended, he said, Malaysia and Selangor's commitment to the Palestinian struggle will continue.
He said there were plans to bring an international conference related to Palestine to Malaysia in the future to strengthen advocacy efforts. Sharimenambahkan Sumud 3.0 will continue the struggle until the blockade against Gaza is lifted.
