12 Brazilians and 2 incommunicable Brazilians

Brazil delegation claims to have lost contact with two activists. João Aguiar traveled in sailboat that was hit by a smelling water jet around 7:35 pm (2:35 pm in Brasilia) yesterday. The attack caused cameras and other communication equipment to stop working.

Communication with the boat has been totally interrupted since then. “Although the tracker indicates that the boat has reached the territorial waters of Gaza, there were no more signs of navigation,” the delegation said.

We demand that Brazilian citizens be confirmed by the Israeli forces, and that João Aguiar’s whereabouts are immediately informed aboard the Mikeno boat, and Miguel de Castro aboard Catalina.

In another boat without contact was Miguel Viveiros de Castro, carioca filmmaker. “It is assumed that the vessel was intercepted, given the blockade of communications caused by the Zionist forces,” said the Brazilian delegation, without giving details of the context of the disappearance.

Uncertainty is devastating. It is a form of suffering that destroys inside that prevents the family from breathing, which makes each minute torture.

Israel started hearings for deportations and arrest orders

Preliminary procedures are being performed at the Port of Ashdod. Also according to the delegation, “these procedures are illegal, and contrary to the guarantees of fundamental rights.” The group claims that their lawyers were not fired and that Tel Aviv would be denying access to legal and consular assistance.
