Overview

• Brazil’s foreign ministry said 13 Brazilians from the Global Sumud flotilla, including federal deputy Luizianne Lins, were taken to the Jordanian border and released with consular support.
• In a video statement, Lins said the group was seized in international waters, told they would be treated as terrorists, cut off from communication, and stripped of belongings, arriving in Jordan without luggage.
• The detainees were held at the high‑security Ketziot prison after declining expedited deportation, with court hearings concluding on Sunday, Oct. 5.
• Itamaraty described the flotilla as a peaceful effort to deliver aid to Gaza, comprising more than 40 vessels and about 420 activists, and said Israeli forces intercepted it in international waters.
• Lins plans to return to Brazil on Thursday, Oct. 9, as reports note broader deportations of other flotilla participants to third countries.
