The Prosecutor's Office of the Negev region has filed charges against the Spanish activist Reyes Rigo (on the left in the photograph), detained on October 1 while traveling aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla with aid for Gaza, and has requested that she remain in preventive detention, as reported this Friday by the Israel Police. The indictment indicates that the accused refused to enter the cell and attacked a guard by biting her hand, causing serious injuries.
As specified in a message on his profile on
Rigo's detention in Israel had been extended by the Court in Beersheva until this Friday, so it is not clear whether, following this request for preventive detention, she will be released or not. A spokesperson for the Israeli prison system did not respond to EFE on the matter.
On the other hand, in the next few hours some of the eight Spaniards who were traveling aboard the second flotilla that was intercepted by Israel in international waters in the early hours of Wednesday could be released and expelled from Israel, as reported by Rumbo a Gaza, one of the organizers of the initiative.
