247 - After days of tension and uncertainty, the Brazilian activists who were part of the Global Sumud Flotilla were released by Israeli forces and arrived in Jordan this Tuesday (7), according to José Reinaldo Carvalho, International editor of Brazil 247 and the TV 247, based on a statement from the Palestinian Committee of the Workers' Party of São Paulo, which has been following the case from the beginning.

According to the committee, all the Brazilians “were effectively released” and are already on Jordanian soil. The group was being held in Ktzi'ot prison, a detention center located in the Negev desert, known for recurring allegations of torture and mistreatment of prisoners. There are still pending issues regarding complete information about the activists' state of health, but, according to the journalist, “they appear to be well.”

José Reinaldo highlighted that a press conference is expected later today, "if conditions on the ground permit." The journalist celebrated the release of the Brazilians and praised the actions of the Global Sumud Flotilla, which sought to break the blockade imposed by Israel on the Gaza Strip, bringing humanitarian aid to the Palestinian population.

“I want to congratulate the Brazilian heroes, because they are Brazilian heroes and heroes of humanity. Yesterday I saw many images of the flotilla militants arriving in France, Portugal, and various other countries, giving sensational interviews, being enthusiastically received at airports packed with people who came to show their support. It is indeed a glorious page in the history of humanity's struggle against Zionism, against genocide, and for the liberation of humankind from this type of oppression,” stated the editor of [publication name].
