All detained activists from the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla and Freedom Flotilla Coalition have been released from Israel’s Ktziot prison ahead of deportation, the legal centre and rights groups representing the activists said on Thursday.
Saad Edhi, son of prominent social worker Faisal Edhi and grandson of late philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi, was reportedly also among the detained activists.
Adalah said it had received “official confirmation” from the Israeli Prison Service and state officials that the detainees had been released.
“The majority of the participants are being transferred to Ramon Airport to be flown out of the country,” the group said.
