"Adnaan and Tor Stumo, the two Massachusetts men who were detained by Israeli forces while aboard a volunteer flotilla bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza, were released earlier this month. The same day they returned home to the United States, a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas officially came into effect. The brothers, who grew up in a political family, aren't new to activism, especially not for Palestine. Ralph Nader, a lawyer and political activist, is their great uncle."
"En route to Gaza, all 42 of the flotilla's vessels were intercepted. The volunteers, including Adnaan and Tor, were detained by Israeli forces and brought to the port of Ashdod before being taken to Ketziot prison in the Negev desert. They were held there for several days, many of them on hunger strikes, in poor conditions, before their eventual release."
Adnaan and Tor Stumo, brothers from Sheffield living in Massachusetts, were detained by Israeli forces while aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza. All 42 flotilla vessels were intercepted; volunteers were taken to Ashdod and transferred to Ketziot prison in the Negev desert. Detainees experienced poor conditions and hunger strikes during several days of incarceration before release. The brothers come from a political family—Ralph Nader is their great-uncle—and intensified pro-Palestinian activism after the death of their sister Samya and the outbreak of war following Oct. 7. Both possess extensive maritime experience.
