Humanity and solidarity are not crimes. Demand the immediate release of the detained flotilla activists.

Wael Naouar, Nabil Channoufi, Ghassan Henchiri and Ghassan Boughdiri — participants in the Global Sumud Flotilla — have been held without trial in Mornaguia Prison, Tunisia, for more than six months. All four are currently on hunger strike. Wael Naouar has been on hunger strike for 35 days and is reportedly in critical condition, facing the risk of organ failure.

It takes less than one minute to demand their release.

Global Sumud Flotilla Holds Tunisian Authorities Fully Liable for the Fate of Imprisoned Hunger Strikers as Wael Naouar Enters Semi-Comatose State

TUNIS – The Global Sumud Flotilla issues an emergency notice to the international community as actions launch worldwide today: Steering Committee member Wael Naouar is on his deathbed inside Mornaguia Prison. Following a prison visit, his family and legal team reported that Naouar has slipped into a semi-comatose state, suffering a serious physical breakdown, with unrelenting cardiac and stomach pain and a severe loss of vision and hearing. His father stated plainly: „Wael is on the brink of death.“

Naouar, who initiated his hunger strike 37 days ago, is being held alongside three fellow Flotilla organizers: Ghassan Henchiri, Ghassan Boughdiri, and Nabil Chennoufi. All four are engaged in an uncompromising, open-ended hunger strike against their prolonged pre-trial detention.

One Month Later- Free The Tunisian 7

On March 6th, 2026, an arrest campaign was started that shook the pro-Palestinian landscape in Tunisia. Seven activists, some of whom put their own bodies on the line for the possibility of breaking the illegal siege on Gaza, were arrested and sent to prison on what appear to be unfounded charges. Let’s say their names:

• Jawaher Channa

• Wael Nawar – Member of the Global Steering Committee

• Ghassan Henchiri

• Ghassan Boughediri

• Sana Msahli

• Dr. Mohamed Amine Ben Nour

• Nabil Chennoufi – Member of the Global Steering Committee

Each of these 7 activists have played a vital role in the unprecedented GSF mission that was launched from Sidi Bou Said Port, Tunisia in September of 2025, an act that is protected under international law. Their mission was simply to deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged people of Gaza and to establish a humanitarian corridor.
