ISLAMABAD: Pakistan condemned in the strongest possible terms the ‘unlawful interception’ of the Global Sumud Flotilla by Israeli occupying forces in the international waters, as well as the arbitrary detention and reported mistreatment of humanitarian workers onboard.
Those detained also reportedly include Pakistani humanitarian activist Saad Edhi, Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Hussain Andrabi said in a statement issued here on Thursday.
Pakistan demands the immediate release of all illegally detained activists. It also calls on the international community to ensure safety, dignity, and fundamental rights of those detained, the statement added.
The FO spokesperson stated that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs remains in close contact with Pakistani diplomatic Missions in the region to ensure the safe return of any detained Pakistani nationals.
Over 430 activists from different countries were taken into custody in Israel after they were detained at sea while making the latest attempts to break the blockade of the Palestinian territory.
