00:01According to lawyers in Tunisia, at least 11 people have been arrested after calling for the release of jailed organizers
00:08of a Gaza-bound humanitarian flotilla.
00:11The exact number of detainees is unclear, as activists said that at least 13 had been detained.
00:18Authorities have yet to confirm the arrests.
00:21It comes after hundreds took to the streets of Tunis to urge the release of four jailed pro-Palestinian activists,
00:27whom Tunisian authorities allege money laundered during involvement with the flotilla.
00:32Those activists were arrested back in March on charges of misusing funds raised for the flotilla,
00:38which tried to sell to Gaza back in 2025 as it sought to deliver aid to the enclave.
00:43The Samud flotilla has denounced their arrest and repeatedly urged their release,
00:48adding that the detained activists' health was, quote, deteriorating after they started a hunger strike.
00:53One of the activists is reportedly in critical condition.
