Former senator Mushtaq Ahmad, who was detained by the Israeli forces in the Gaza aid flotilla interception, has been released and safely with the Pakistan embassy in Amman, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed on Tuesday. Mushtaq Ahmad was among several individuals detained earlier this month after Israeli forces intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. “I was subjected to torture. My eyes were blindfolded, guns were pointed at us,” he said. “I went on a hunger strike, and there was no access to air, drinking water, or medication by Israeli forces,” the former senator said, recounting his experience.
