Crowds of demonstrators took to the streets of Athens to protest the detention of hundreds of activists involved in the Gaza Flotilla mission.
The Global Sumud Flotilla was intercepted by the Israeli navy while trying to deliver aid to Gaza. Activists involved in the mission have been detained in Israel, whose foreign ministry maintains its right to enforce its naval blockade on Gaza.
Activists deported from Israel on Friday say they suffered abuse at the hands of the Israeli regime while in detention. Israel has denied such claims from activists involved in previous flotillas.
