Gaza flotilla activists from Spain and Brazil appear in Israeli court

Court extends detention of two men who were among 175 people intercepted in Mediterranean on Thursday

Two foreign activists from a Gaza-bound flotilla who were brought to Israel for interrogation appeared before an Israeli court on Sunday, a rights group defending them told AFP.

The flotilla of more than 50 vessels had set sail from France, Spain and Italy with the aim of breaking an Israeli blockade of Gaza and bringing supplies to the devastated Palestinian territory.
