Indonesians File Complaint Against Netanyahu for Gaza Flotilla Arrest 'Abuses'
The complaint cites alleged abuses during detention and asks Indonesia’s attorney general to investigate piracy at sea and crimes against humanity.
- On Wednesday, nine Indonesians filed a complaint against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, alleging crimes against humanity and piracy related to their detention during a Gaza aid mission in May.
- The activists were part of the Global Sumud Flotilla intercepted by Israeli security forces in Oct 2025, during which more than 400 volunteers were detained for periods of days.
- Their submission includes testimony about abuses they claim to have suffered during detention; Israel's treatment sparked international outcry after video showed volunteers kneeling with hands tied behind their backs.
- Indonesia's criminal code grants courts "universal jurisdiction" over crimes committed beyond the country's borders, lawyer Kafin Muhammad said, enabling the investigation request into Zionist Israel that he filed.
- Other nations including France, Italy, and Australia have already opened judicial investigations into the flotilla interception, establishing a pattern of international legal accountability for the May detention.
