Global Peace Convoy Indonesia (GPCI) confirmed that all humanitarian volunteers of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), including nine Indonesian citizens (WNI) who were detained by the Israeli military, have been released.
GPCI Media Coordinator Harfin Naqsyabandy explained that the volunteers were previously detained at Ktziot Prison by Israeli authorities.
Now they are in the process of deportation and repatriation out of Israel through Ramon/Eilat Airport to Istanbul, Turkey.
"The Adalah legal team (local human rights organization) continues to carry out strict monitoring to ensure that all activists, including Indonesian citizens, can leave safely without additional delays," said Harfin as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, May 21.
The volunteers, continued Harfin, were reportedly subjected to violence during their detention, such as beatings and the use of rubber bullets.
However, he also still confirmed the condition of the Indonesian citizens who were detained. It is hoped that no violence will occur to the nine Indonesian citizens who were arrested by Israel.
The repatriation process will continue to be monitored by the legal team, diplomatic channels, and the international network supporting the Flotilla.
The GPCI team is now preparing to leave for Turkey to pick up Indonesian volunteers.
In addition, GPCI also continues to coordinate with the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA). Today, he said, the leadership of GPCI has also met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Please pray for the best so that all delegations, including Indonesian citizens, can arrive safely and healthy," he said.
