Bangladesh court orders police probe into attack on Gaza flotilla activists

Monday, 25 May 2026, 06:18 · 1 min read

A Bangladesh court has ordered a police investigation into the treatment of Gaza flotilla activists following their release from Israeli detention, as outrage over the incident spreads internationally. In Spain, around 2,000 people marched in Bilbao after footage emerged of Basque regional police (the Ertzaintza) striking activists with batons and pinning them to the ground at the city's airport, where a scuffle broke out as relatives tried to greet six returning detainees. The flotilla's organisers have alleged that activists were subjected to abuse during Israeli custody, including reports of sexual assault, drawing condemnation from Amnesty International and UN human rights experts.
