Israel extends detention of Gaza flotilla activists, lawyers report

An Israeli court has extended the detention of humanitarian activists Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Avila, who were intercepted while attempting to reach Gaza as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla. The Ashkelon Magistrates’ Court granted the state’s request for an extension until May 10, citing secret evidence. Adalah, the rights group representing them, plans to appeal, arguing that the allegations lack legal basis and asserting that the activists are being mistreated while in custody.
