Spain’s Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska announced on 7 October that Madrid will submit a formal complaint to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over Israel’s kidnapping of hundreds of activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters.

Grande-Marlaska said any assault on civilians in international waters constitutes an act of unlawful detention under both Spanish and international law.

On Sunday, 29 Spanish activists who were part of the flotilla landed in Madrid after being detained by Israeli forces in international waters.

Many of the activists were subjected to “physical and psychological ill-treatment” while in detention.
