“BANGI, May 1 — The Sumud Nusantara Command Centre (SNCC) has yet to receive any official confirmation on the safety status of 175 Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) 2.0 activists, including 10 Malaysian participants, after being detained by Israeli authorities in international waters 38 hours ago. SNCC director-general Datuk Dr Sani Araby Abdul Alim Araby said while there was initial information that all the activists would be released at Lerapetra Port, Crete, Greece at noon today (Malaysia time), it has yet to be verified. “The current status (of the information) has yet to be confirmed through official channels and our field group at the port,” he said at a special media conference on updates on the Global Sumud Flotilla 2026 here today. Sani Araby said they have also been in contact with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who has stated his firm stand and condemned the Israeli regime for violating international laws. “(The Prime Minister) stated his continued commitment to ensure the release of the participants,” he added. — Bernama
