Gaza – Saba:
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) held the Zionist enemy and the international community fully responsible for the lives of the 14 freedom activists who were arrested when enemy forces intercepted the "Handhala" ship en route to break the siege on the Gaza Strip.
In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the Front stated: "The Zionist piracy crime against these activists at sea, followed by their arrest and continued forced detention, constitutes a war crime that puts their lives at grave risk."
The PFLP pointed out that the activists were subjected to severe physical violence by Zionist special forces and were denied the minimum humanitarian conditions in detention, including lack of ventilation amid extreme heat and the absence of basic sanitary supplies for women.
It praised the courage of the detained activists, who refused to sign so-called "voluntary deportation" forms or pledge not to participate in such initiatives again, declaring an open-ended hunger strike in protest against their forced detention.
The PFLP emphasized that the continued detention of these international activists sends a clear message to the world that this criminal entity poses a danger to all humanity. The atrocities it commits—genocide, starvation, and siege against the Palestinian people—surpass in brutality the crimes of fascist, Nazi, and racist regimes in history, with the Zionist entity exceeding them all in savagery and criminality.
The Front called on the free world, its people, and solidarity movements to take urgent action in support of Gaza, to stop the genocide and famine, to continue pressuring for an end to the blockade, and to amplify the voices of the detained freedom activists worldwide.
