Two hundred and thirty organizations worldwide are calling for increased justice and environmental protection within the clothing industry. Activists from various countries arrived at the port of Lavrion via cargo ship following coordination between the Greek and Israeli Ministries of Foreign Affairs. The group traveled by bus from Lavrion to Heraklion airport to organize travel to their home countries. Two members of the fleet are expected to be transferred to Israel for interrogation, according to Israeli reports. Seven Chilean nationals, including anthropologist Franco Torti, have been released following their detention as part of a global flotilla. The group was part of an effort to raise awareness regarding an ongoing conflict. The release follows the previous interception of the vessels. Spain's foreign minister has demanded that Israel release Spanish activist Safe Abdukeshek.

Spain's foreign minister has demanded that Israel release Spanish activist Safe Abdukeshek. Abdukeshek was part of an aid flotilla targeting Gaza that was boarded by Israeli forces in international waters near Greece. While 168 activists have been released, Abdukeshek and one other individual are being taken to Israel for questioning. The document accuses the fashion and business sectors of exploiting workers, particularly women, who work in poor conditions for low wages. Millions of textile workers are reportedly struggling for survival as the industry grows more profitable.
