3 activists on 'Madleen' ship to be deported via Jordan

Following the attacks launched by Israel on Iran, security measures in the region were increased, and the airspace was largely closed to flights. Following these developments, three human rights activists on the 'Madleen' ship, which was reported to be carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, were taken into custody.

“THEY WILL CROSS INTO JORDAN TOMORROW MORNING”

The Israeli human rights organization Adalah issued a statement regarding the deportation process of the activists in custody. According to the statement, Dutch citizen Marco van Rennes and French citizens Pascal Maurieras and Yanis Mhamdi will be sent to Jordan by land tomorrow morning.

The statement noted that the activists wished to return to their countries voluntarily, but the deportation process was delayed due to flight cancellations in the region.

ROUTE CHANGED DUE TO AIR TRAVEL OBSTACLES

It was decided that the activists, who were expected to be deported by air from Tel Aviv under normal circumstances, would be evacuated via Jordan due to restrictions in Israeli airspace. Adalah announced that the process was finalized as a result of diplomatic contacts and legal initiatives with Israeli authorities.
