"The court's decision to extend the detention of humanitarian activists abducted in international waters amounts to judicial validation of the state's lawlessness, Adalah said in a statement on Tuesday."
"The extension of the activists' detainment was based on secret evidence that Abu Keshek, Avila and their lawyers were not permitted to review, Adalah said."
"No charges have been filed against the two men, but Abu Keshek and Avila face several accusations, including affiliation with a terrorist organisation and contact with foreign agents."
"Adalah lawyers Hadeel Abu Salih and Lubna Tuma, representing the two activists, have argued that the allegations against them are baseless and have no legal grounds."
An Israeli court has extended the detention of two activists, Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Avila, who were part of a humanitarian flotilla intercepted by Israeli forces. The court's decision, based on secret evidence, has been criticized as a validation of state lawlessness. No charges have been filed against the activists, but they face serious accusations. Their lawyers argue that the allegations lack legal basis. Adalah, the rights group representing them, plans to appeal the court's decision.
