Two American brothers who took part in the Global Sumud Gaza Flotilla accused Israel of committing “an act of piracy and a war crime” for intercepting their aid vessels in international waters, after returning to the U.S. following several days in Israeli detention.
Adnaan and Tor Stumo arrived early Friday and were greeted by family, including their mother Nadia Milleron, and dozens of supporters.
At a news conference at the airport, Adnaan said: "It is an act of piracy under maritime law to intercept civilian vessels in international waters."
Speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA), the brothers recounted in detail the assault on their civilian vessels in international waters and their detention in Israel.
"Initially, we had bombings, fire bombings on the boats in Tunisia," said Adnaan Stumo, who captained one of the vessels, Mikeno.
