It is Indigenous People's Day on Monday. Please don't let that day, or the month of November be the only time you pay
attention to or learn anything
about us. We are Native all the
other days too.

MEDIA STATEMENT
October 10, 2025
Toronto Indigenous Humanitarian Illegally Detained by Israeli Forces
Now En Route Back to Canada
Mskwaasin Agnew's Experience Underscores Israel's Criminalization of Humanitarian Aid - and the Daily Brutality Faced by Palestinian Prisoners
TORONTO - Mskwaasin Agnew, an Indigenous human rights advocate from Toronto who was illegally detained by Israeli forces after joining the Freedom Flotilla Coalition to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, has landed in Turkiye along with 100 members of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition who sailed with her aboard the Conscience. Ms. Agnew will soon be en route back to Canada.
Family and friends are expected to greet her at the airport upon her arrival to Canada to welcome her home. Short remarks will be made to the media at that time. Additional information regarding location and time will follow as soon as her flight details are confirmed.
Agnew was one of six Canadian citizens aboard The Conscience, a humanitarian vessel intercepted in international waters earlier this week by Israeli naval forces. She was joined on her flight to Turkiye by 2 other Canadians, Nima Machouf and Khurram Musti Khan. The three others from Newfoundland - Sadie Mees, Nikita Stapleton and Devoney Ellis-remain in Israeli detention where all Flotilla participants - including doctors, journalists, and human rights defenders from more than 30 countries - were forcibly taken and held by Israel.
According to reports from her lawyer, Agnew had expressed concerns about the poor quality of water and lack of trust in the food provided during her detention. Her experience reflects the broader system of abuse and deprivation faced by thousands of Palestinian political prisoners, who are routinely denied food, water, medical care, and due process.
We call on the Government of Canada to condemn Israel's ongoing violations of international law, ensure the safe return of all detained Canadians, and demand accountability
