One Madleen activist removed from solitary confinement, another remains

Freedom Flotilla Coalition says one of the activists detained by Israeli forces on board the Madleen vessel has been removed from solitary confinement and returned to prison.

Rima Hassan is a French citizen and a member of the European Parliament.

Meanwhile, Brazilian activist Thiago Avila, who was also detained on the boat, remains in solitary confinement, with Israeli authorities allegedly threatening to detain him for seven days.

 

The Madleen was attempting to deliver humanitarian supplies to Gaza when it was intercepted by Israel.

12 activists were held, with four subsequently sent back to their respective countries.
