The international community must understand the gravity of this moment. israel is holding a Palestinian activist seized in international waters without charge, threatening his children and family, psychologically tormenting him during interrogations, and allowing his health to deteriorate during a dry hunger strike.

The Global Sumud Flotilla calls on:

– The Swedish government to immediately demand Saif’s release and publicly condemn his treatment;

– International human rights organizations and legal bodies to intervene before irreversible harm is done;

– Media outlets worldwide to expose the reality of what is happening inside the Shikma detention facility for decades;

– People of conscience everywhere to raise urgent public pressure for Saif’s release and the release of Thiago and all Palestinian hostages and political prisoners

– Accountability of all those involved in these ongoing abuses and crimes against humanity against Saif, Thiago and all Palestinians.
