"I am proud of my daughter. She is the bravest person I know. She is beautiful from the inside out," Mskwaasin's mother said. "I was asked two days ago, 'Why would she do this? I said to him, 'Why wouldn't she."
"He said, 'She's going to get arrested."
I said, 'Why would she be arrested, she is not doing anything against the law. She's going to help people that are dying, that need medical attention, that need food, to bring awareness that our government will not do."
Freedom Flotilla and Thousand Madleens Volunteers: 89 Free Today
"But one of our own, Reyes Rigo, remains imprisoned in Israel.
"Reyes was kidnapped in international waters with other humanitarians, taken against her will, and brutally assaulted by Israeli prison guards. The alleged “assault” she’s charged with stems from her attempt to defend herself and others from that violence.
"Her case is now concluded. There is no reason for her continued detention.
"We demand her immediate release, so she can return home to her loved ones in Spain.
"And we demand freedom for all those unjustly held: the 46 remaining Freedom Flotilla volunteers and the 11,000 Palestinians imprisoned under Israeli occupation.
"Free all the hostages. Free Palestine."
Truth about Israel's torture prisons is clear
The truth about Israel's torture prisons -- where Palestinians are tortured to death -- is clear now.
The U.S. and Australian governments supplied the weapons for this genocide and didn't care that their citizens on the Sumud Flotilla were "left to rot," as one said, in the torture prison of Ktzi'ot in the Negev desert.
Their release was made possible by the efforts of other countries who bussed and flew them out from the prison. They were beaten, denied water, food and their medicines. The U.S. consulate told them, "We're not here to babysit you."
Today, Mskwaasin Agnew, Cree Dene, was among 89 on the Freedom Flotilla and Thousand Madleens flown out to Turkey. The U.S. citizens were bussed out by Jordan.

Arriving in New York: Carsie Blanton, U.S. citizen released from Israeli prison after six days, said, “I'm a Jewish American and in Israeli detention I was really treated like scum in a way that you read about in books about the Holocaust.. We were saying medic, medic, medic and a guard came to us and said, if you keep asking for a medic, we're going to gas you...”
The U.S. delegation on the Sumud Global Flotilla was abandoned by the U.S. government and abused in the Ktzi'ot prison in the Negev desert.
South Africans Paraded in Israeli's Torture Prison
Nelson Mandela's grandson said South Africans were treated far worse than the other flotilla members imprisoned in Israel's torture prison. Mandla Mandela said their hands were bound tightly with cables and they were paraded for others to see. They were denied showers, although others weren't.
South African women were slammed against a wall behind a screen, and stripped in front of soldiers, while other women were not. Mandela said it was because South Africa took Israel before the ICC for its genocide in Palestine. Mandela was on the Global Sumud Flotilla and was in the last group released from the violent Ktzi'ot prison in Israel's Negev desert, six days after being illegally kidnapped in international waters by Israeli forces.

UK charges her with terrorism, after she is released from Israeli torture prison
The flotilla's Sarah Wilkinson, released from imprisonment in Israel's torture prison, was charged with five counts of terrorism when she re-entered the UK -- for supporting Palestine.

Juliet Lamont was welcomed home to Australia with cheers after being abused in Israel's torture prison. "There were children in that jail. We could hear them crying at night."
“It’s bittersweet to be back on the stolen land of so-called Australia. We’re really good at genocide in this country and we’ve just been in a place where they threw their genocidal playbook at us and we got one page of it. We got one page of what they do to the Palestinians.
"We can do a post mortem later about the human rights abuses, the torture, the sexual assault, their denial of food, water, light and medicine — but imagine — the eyes of the world were on the 500 of us, and what was happening to us. Imagine what is happening to the 11,000 Palestinians in jail. Nobody’s watching them...
"We have to keep all eyes on Gaza. This ropey ceasefire, this dodgy, Trumpian real estate deal — let’s see what will happen — but we know in the past almost two years they’ve had 962 violations of their ceasefires thus far. So let’s keep them accountable."
