Thiago Avila Deported After Torture Claims
Global Sumud Flotilla Intercepted 100 Detained
Second Global Sumud Flotilla Launched From Spain

The time is now 2:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, Brazilian activist Thiago Avila returned to Sao Paulo on Monday following his detention and deportation from Israel, where he alleged he was tortured and witnessed abuses of Palestinian prisoners during 10 days in custody. Avila and Spanish national Abu Keshek were part of the second Global Sumud Flotilla that launched from Spain on April 12 aiming to break Israel's blockade of Gaza by delivering aid. The two men were arrested and taken to Israel after the flotilla was intercepted, with more than 100 other pro-Palestinian activists taken to Crete. Avila and Keshek were held on suspicions of offenses including aiding the enemy and contact with a terrorist group; both denied the allegations. They were released on Saturday and handed to immigration authorities for deportation. Avila said, "My return was simply a correction of a serious violation. I was kidnapped by Israel, I wasn't imprisoned." He added that he and Keshek suffered "all kinds of violations" during their detention, noting that Palestinian prisoners in nearby cells experienced worse treatment.
