Images released on social networks show the moment when the Israeli Navy intercepted and detained members of the Global Humanitarian Sumud Flotilla Flotilla, which was heading for Gaza with humanitarian aid. Among the detainees are the Portuguese Mariana Mortágua, coordinator of the Left Bloc, actress Sofia Aparício and activist Miguel Duarte.
The President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, has already assured that Portugal is ensuring all consular support to detained national citizens.
