Activists still in Israeli detention


500101 Afran

The Zionist regime has still not released hundreds of peace activists detained in international waters while trying to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
Tel Aviv arrested nearly 700 activists from 42 countries on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla after a deadly early Monday attack on the aid convoy in which at least 20 people were killed and many more were wounded.
More than 120 nationals of Arab countries are expected to be handed over at the Jordanian border.
This comes as 45 activists were immediately deported.
Israel says it will expel the rest in the coming days.
Tel Aviv has demanded that the activists sign a document saying they entered Israel illegally. Most of them, however, have refused to sign such a statement, as they were seized in international waters.
