Israel seeking to deport activists detained on Gaza-bound boat: NGO - War on Gaza
Israel is seeking to deport pro-Palestinian activists who were detained and brought to shore when their Gaza-bound boat was intercepted by the navy, a legal aid centre advising them said on Sunday. The 21 activists from 10 countries were taken into custody late Saturday when Israel intercepted the Handala in international waters. The aid boat set sail with the stated aim of breaching Israel's deadly humanitarian blockade of Gaza, now approaching its fifth month. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), which organized the voyage, described the cargo as life-saving aid for Gaza's 2.4 million people, suffering under Israeli blockade imposed on 2 March. More than 100 aid organisations have already warned that "mass starvation" was spreading across the Palestinian territory amid health system collapse caused by Israel's blockade, with severe shortages of food, clean water, medicine and fuel. Following its interception, the Handala and its crew from the FFC were brought to the port of Ashdod in Israel, where, according to the legal rights centre Adalah, all but two -- a pair of dual US-Israeli nationals -- were being held under Israeli immigration law. The Handala's crew have said they would immediately begin a hunger strike if detained. The interception in international waters marked the third time this year Israeli forces have stopped Freedom Flotilla vessels attempting to break Israel's blockade by delivering aid to Gaza by sea. "Israel is handling the custody of the volunteers as though they had entered the country illegally -- even though they were forcibly taken from international waters and brought into Israel against their will," Adalah said in a statement after its lawyers were allowed to meet the detainees. "The authorities presented them with two options: either agree to so-called 'voluntary deportation', or remain in detention and appear before a tribunal, to have their continued detention pending deportation reviewed," the statement continued. According to Adalah, three detainees -- an Italian, an American and a French member of parliament, Gabrielle Cathala -- agreed to be deported and are expected to leave Israel in the coming hours. The US-Israeli nationals were interrogated by Israeli police and released, while 12 international activists -- including another left-wing French MP, Emma Fourreau -- refused to sign voluntary deportation orders and are still in Israeli custody pending legal hearings. The remaining four detainees, including a pair of Al Jazeera journalists, have retained private counsel. 'Peaceful' mission Adalah reiterated that the activists were engaged in a "peaceful civilian mission", and maintained that both their detention and the Israeli blockade of Gaza were illegal. The Israeli foreign ministry has said the navy stopped the Handala to prevent it from entering coastal waters off Gaza, noting after its intecerption that all the vessel's "passengers are safe". Just before midnight local time on Saturday, video streamed live from the Handala showed Israeli troops boarding the vessel. An online tracker showed the ship in international waters west of Gaza. The ship had been on course to try to break the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza and bring a small quantity of life-saving humanitarian aid to the territory's Palestinian residents. The Handala's crew had said before their capture in a post on X that they would go on hunger strike if the Israeli military intercepted the boat and detained its passengers. A previous boat sent by Freedom Flotilla, the Madleen, was also intercepted by the Israeli military in international waters on 9 June and towed to Ashdod. It carried 12 campaigners, including prominent Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. The activists were eventually expelled by Israel. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Why has an Egyptian actress become accused of organ trafficking?
Egyptian Actress Wafaa Amer has now become the victim of a widespread defamation campaign alleging that her involvement in organ trafficking. A viral video showed a woman accusing Amer of being involved in the death of Zamalek football player Ibrahim Shika and in organ trafficking. What is the truth behind this outlandish story? Amer denounces the accusations Amer slammed the allegations as false and said that she will take all legal action against those spreading them. In a phone interview with the al-Shams TV channel, the actress stated that she had officially filed a complaint with the relevant authorities to prosecute all those behind these accusations, stressing, 'I will hold legally accountable anyone who has offended me.' She said that social media has now become a curse that can be to spread lies and insult others without evidence or accountability. In another phone-in with Al-Hadath Al-Youm TV channel, Amer expressed her shock after a woman claiming to be the daughter of former President Hosni Mubarak accused her of organ trafficking. She added that she could only respond to the claims sarcastically, noting that the woman had made false allegations about family matters. In a statement posted on her official Facebook account, Amer said she would not remain silent in the face of these serious allegations. Syndicate of Artists intervenes The Egyptian Syndicate of Artists announced its solidarity with Amer against the slander campaign targeting her. A legal committee of senior lawyers has been formed to follow up on the matter and take the necessary measures, it explained, based on the syndicate's role in protecting and defending its members. The Syndicate affirmed that Amer is a great artist 'of whom we are proud,' and that she has an honorable artistic career and has demonstrated remarkable patriotic and humanitarian views. It emphasized its full support for her in the face of any abuse or transgression. In response, Amer wrote on Facebook: 'I am proud of my Syndicate, its members, and my respected Syndicate President. I have chosen to remain silent. Thank you to the great Syndicate to which I belong. Thank you to all my colleagues and beloved fans.' Edited translation from Al-Masry Al-Youm
