    Shouldn’t they just release her once she touches French soil? She hasn’t committed any crimes in France (she technically hasn’t committed any crimes in Israel either, since she never willingly stepped in there in the first place, she was kidnapped in international waters) and she is a EU citizen so it’s not like it’s illegal for her to be in France.

      Probably because they’re still airside and not officially in France yet? ( I don’t know, just guessing )

      She hasn’t committed any crimes that I am aware of since the aid voyage began. Not even the bullshit ones that fascist regimes like to throw out when they want to target specific groups.

      I know you aren’t trying to suggest that she has, but I believe its important that there isn’t any ambiguity in whether she did a crime or not. She was kidnapped by Privateers (state-sanctioned pirates), the goods she was traveling with as well as personal effects were stolen, and she was taken against her will into places and forced to watch people die on video by her kidnappers. At no point in this has a crime been committed in any way that I am aware of. And it especially hasn’t been made known by any credible source.
