Israel to release two Gaza flotilla activists and deport them home
Israel plans to release two Gaza flotilla activists, Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Avila, to their home countries after detention in Israel following the Global Sumud Flotilla. They will be handed over to immigration authorities for deportation; rights group Adalah says they were held without charges, subjected to isolation and a hunger strike, amid accusations of links to terrorist groups, while Israel denies abuse and emphasizes adherence to international law.
