Spain’s foreign ministry called for the “immediate release” of a Spanish-Palestinian activist after Israeli court on Sunday extended his detention by two days.
“The government of Spain demands his immediate release,” the ministry said in a comment sent to AFP, adding that the Spanish consul in Tel Aviv accompanied Saif Abu Keshek, who is being “illegally detained,” to the hearing. A rights group at the hearing said the court extended the detention of Keshek and Brazilian activist Thaigo Avila for two days.
