Israeli Forces Detain Saad Edhi from Gaza-Bound Aid Flotilla

The convoy, carrying 430 aid workers, departed from the Turkish city of Marmaris. Reports indicate Israeli forces fired rubber bullets during the interception.

Demonstrations took place in Karachi and London, with the Edhi family and social activists urging intervention for the detainees' release. The BRICS nations also released a joint statement, condemning Israel's interception of the aid convoy as a violation of international law.

The convoy, also identified as the "Global Freedom Flotilla," involved activists from 18 countries. The initiative aimed to draw global attention to the severe humanitarian crisis in Palestine.

A joint statement from 10 countries, including Pakistan, Turkey, Bangladesh, Brazil, and Spain, has condemned the raid as a violation of international law. The nations expressed grave concern over the incident and demanded the immediate release of all detained activists.

The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan has strongly condemned the attack and detention of activists aboard the aid convoy, also known as the 'Freedom Flotilla.' Saad Edhi is the grandson of the revered late philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi. In his pre-recorded message, he stated it is the Pakistani government’s responsibility to secure his release.

The convoy has also been identified as the 'Global Freedom Flotilla,' with detained activists now being taken to the Israeli port of Ashdod. Video footage has reportedly surfaced showing Israeli forces boarding the vessels.

Among the detained activists is the sister of Ireland's president. Separately, the Malaysian Prime Minister condemned the seizure as an act of piracy while demanding the immediate release of all those on board.

Among those detained are seven Pakistani nationals from the Edhi Foundation. Saad Edhi, son of the foundation's head Faisal Edhi, was reportedly live-streaming during the interception of the 'Global Freedom Flotilla'.

Israeli forces seized multiple vessels and detained over 100 international activists in the raid. Condemning nations are now demanding the immediate release of those on board.

The sister of the head of the Edhi Foundation was also among the prominent figures detained by naval forces in the Mediterranean Sea. The activists were subsequently transferred to an Israeli jail. This action has drawn condemnation from other nations in addition to Pakistan.

The intercepted aid convoy, also named the 'Global Smooth Flotilla', was the latest attempt to breach Israel's blockade of the Palestinian territory. According to the flotilla's organizers, this follows the interception of a similar convoy by Israeli forces last month.

Pakistani authorities have strongly condemned the action, describing it as a serious violation of international law and human rights. The international aid mission has also been identified as the "Freedom Flotilla."

The mission has now been identified as the "Global Human Flotilla." According to reports, Israeli naval forces attacked the vessel during the interception before detaining the activists on board.

The flotilla, which included Faisal Edhi's son, departed from Turkey on May 14. A total of 100 activists were taken into custody by Israeli forces, including seven workers from the Edhi Foundation.
