Three activists with the Gaza Freedom Flotilla may face more time in Israeli prison as airports have shut down due to Israel’s attacks on Iran. All three activists had been scheduled to be deported today. Two are from France: Pascal Maurieras and Yanis Mhamdi. Marco van Rennes is from the Netherlands. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition is demanding both governments find alternative routes to bring the activists home. This comes after six more of the Madleen’s activists were deported Thursday. Israeli forces raided the humanitarian vessel Monday in international waters, abducting their passengers. At least two were subjected to solitary confinement in Israeli custody. German activist Yasemin Acar spoke out after she landed back home on Thursday.

Yasemin Acar: “The world must rise. We all have to rise together. I’m pleading to you. I’m begging you: Get up! What is happening in Gaza is not normal, for 20 months.”
