00:01According to lawyers in Tunisia, at least 11 people have been arrested after calling
00:06for the release of jailed organisers of 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
00:26pro-Palestinian activists, whom Tunisian authorities allege money laundered during involvement with
00:30the flotilla.
00:32Those activists were arrested back in March on charges of misusing funds raised for the
00:37flotilla, which tried to sell to Gaza back in 2025 as it sought to deliver aid to the
00:42enclave.
00:43The Samud Flotilla has denounced their arrest and repeatedly urged their release, adding
00:48that the detained activists' health was, quote, deteriorating after they started a hunger strike.
00:53One of the activists is reportedly in critical condition.
