The Spanish woman from the flotilla detained in Israel appears in court this morning.

Reyes Rigo, the Sumud Global Flotilla activist who remains detained in Israel, will appear again this Friday morning before a court in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba, Suhad Bishara, director of the Israeli NGO Adalah, which is providing legal assistance to them, told EL PAÍS. Bishara responded to this newspaper from the court, where she was already waiting for the hearing to begin.

The 56-year-old woman from Mallorca is being investigated for allegedly biting a nurse at the Ketziot maximum-security prison last Sunday, where she remains incarcerated. However, no charges have yet been filed against her.

At a first hearing last Wednesday, after which the judge extended her detention for three days pending this Friday's hearing, Rigo denied the assault and offered a very different version of what happened on Sunday. The activist claims that on that day, a struggle occurred in which she stood between prison guards and a fellow member of the fleet, as the officers were assaulting the other woman.

Adalah's lawyer then asked the Israeli police representative at the trial to provide footage of the incident, which should have been captured on the prison's security cameras. The officer responded by asserting that the security force does not have such videos in its possession and had not even seen them.

Rigo is the only Spaniard from the Sumud Global Flotilla still being held in Israel. Five other members of the initiative—of Moroccan and Norwegian nationality—who sought to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza also remain imprisoned. The remaining activists, more than 460, were expelled from Israel in several batches earlier this week. Early Thursday morning, the Israeli Navy intercepted the boats in international waters and took their occupants to the Israeli port of Ashdod.

Exactly a week after the Global Sumud Flotilla was boarded, another flotilla, the Mil Madleens, was also attacked, also outside Israeli territorial waters.

Activists deported from Israel have reported mistreatment, humiliation, and deprivation of water, food, and medicine in that country.
