Hawzah News Agency- The Spanish minister said that any attack on individuals in international waters constitutes an act of unlawful detention under both domestic and international law.
On Sunday, 29 activists who had been part of the Sumud flotilla arrived in the Spanish capital, Madrid. They had reportedly been attacked and detained by Israeli forces in international waters while the flotilla was sailing towards Gaza to challenge the blockade.
According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), some Spanish activists said they were subjected to “physical and psychological ill-treatment” in Israel.
Rafael Borrego, one of the flotilla participants, told journalists about their detention in Israel, saying: “The physical and psychological abuse continued for days. They beat us, dragged us on the ground, blindfolded us, and tied our hands and feet''.
