Footage shared online shows Egyptian authorities forcibly escorting dozens of international activists onto planes at Cairo International Airport after confiscating their passports, despite the activists holding valid entry visas. They had arrived to participate in the Global March to Gaza, a peaceful initiative aimed at challenging Israel’s blockade by gathering at Egypt’s border with the Palestinian enclave.
The incident has drawn condemnation from human rights groups, as the Sumud Convoy, which is part of the broader march, continues its journey from Tunisia, with thousands of participants from across North Africa still en route.
