All 145 of our comrades have been released, but thousands of Palestinians remain imprisoned — abducted from their homes, held without trial, tortured, disappeared.

Journalists, healthcare workers and activists meet at sea. Their shared goals: to break Israel’s illegal siege of Gaza; open a sea corridor, and end the genocide. ‘Conscience’ and Thousand Madleens to Gaza sailboats are just days away from arriving in Gaza, Palestine. @freedomflotilla.bsky.social

Months after Israeli drones bombed 'Conscience' near Malta, we sail again - this time with Thousand Madleens to Gaza.
