At least 150 Global Sumud Flotilla participants who were detained last week are still held in Israel prison, claimed a lawyer representing the activists.
Israel on Monday deported 171 foreign nationals, including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who were detained last week for attempting to sail humanitarian aid to Gaza.
They were flown to Greece and Slovakia.
The deportees were citizens of Greece, Italy, France, Ireland, Sweden, Poland, Germany, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Austria, Luxembourg, Finland, Denmark, Slovakia, Switzerland, Norway, the United Kingdom, Serbia and the United States, Israel’s foreign ministry said in a social media post.
Thunberg was among dozens who landed in Athens on Monday afternoon.
Supporters gathered at the Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, chanting “Free, free Palestine” as the activists disembarked, AP reported.
After arriving in Athens, the Swedish activist said, “We cannot take our eyes away from Gaza,” according to AP.
