Dear all,
We need your help.
Our fellow Atlas member and Community Lead Yassine has been arrested by Israeli forces while sailing on the Global Sumud Flotilla. The Flotilla is a peaceful mission of solidarity with Gaza, sailing by sea in response to the genocide waged by Israel, which has taken more than 70,000 Palestinian lives in just two years. Alongside more than 500 activists, Yassine was kidnapped in international watersby Israeli forces and, from what we know, is now being held in detention.
Watch Yassine in his own words:
- His introduction before departure – why he joined the mission
- His broadcast as the Israeli navy confronted the flotilla
- His final message before being kidnapped
These videos speak for themselves: Yassine stood up for justice and dignity, and now he needs us to stand up for him and all the other activists that powered the Flotilla.
We are calling on our entire network to mobilize:
- Please share Yassine’s story and videos widely on social media (YouTube, Instagram,LinkedIn, Tik Tok, and more)
- If you have contacts who can help the members of the Flotilla - lawyers, journalists, diplomats - reach out immediately and let us know.
- Together, we must secure their safe release.
Time is critical. Every hour counts.
In solidarity,
The Atlas Team
