Maghreb Flotilla to Gaza: Lawyers from "Adalah" Organization Await Arrival of Intercepted Boats
The Maghreb Flotilla to Gaza announced on Thursday that lawyers from the "Adalah" (Justice) organization are currently at the Port of Ashdod, waiting for the arrival of the boats intercepted off the coast of Gaza.
Legal Assistance
The "Adalah" organization, which specializes in legal aid, stated that it has sent lawyers to the Port of Ashdod to provide legal assistance to those arrested. On its Facebook page, the Flotilla specified that any vessel remaining unreachable for more than six hours - such as the boats "Handala", "Mia Mia", and "Amsterdam" - will be considered detained by the Zionist entity. No official information has been communicated on this matter yet, adds the same source.
Expected Outcome
The Flotilla is waiting to obtain the list of captured participants upon their arrival at the Port of Ashdod. The interception of the flotilla by the Zionist entity in international waters the previous day constitutes a "war crime" and a "flagrant violation of international law". This peaceful civil mission is entirely legal under international humanitarian law, according to the same source. Its goal is to break the blockade of Gaza and open a humanitarian corridor for the delivery of aid.
