Spain demands ‘immediate release’ of Spanish-Palestinian activist abducted by Israel

Spain’s foreign ministry has called for the “immediate release” of a Spanish-Palestinian activist, who was abducted on Thursday by the Israeli army from a captured vessel in the Gaza-bound humanitarian flotilla.
“The government of Spain demands his immediate release,” the ministry said in a comment sent to the AFP news agency shortly after an Israeli court extended his detention by two days. The ministry said that the Spanish consul in Tel Aviv accompanied Saif Abu Keshek, who is being “illegally detained”, to the hearing.
