Makassar, VIVA \u2013 The family of Andi Angga Prasadewa, one of the\nIndonesian victims abducted by Zionist Israeli soldiers, from Makassar,\nSouth Sulawesi, are anxious about his condition after he was seized at\nsea off the Mediterranean during a humanitarian mission to Palestine on\nMonday, 18 May 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy son departed for Gaza by sea from Turkey, at Marmaris (Cruise\nPort), there were 56 ships, that\u2019s what I heard. On the journey, before\nreaching 250 miles from the coast, he was captured by Zionist Israel,\u201d\nsaid the victim\u2019s mother Sutrawati Kaharuddin, at her home on Jalan\nYusuf Daeng Ngawing, Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Andi Angga Prasadewa was part of a Global Peace Convoy Indonesia\n(GPCI) delegation representing Rumah Zakat taking part in the Global\nSumud Flotilla humanitarian mission to Palestine. There were nine\nIndonesian nationals including him who were intercepted by the Israeli\nmilitary in the local waters.<\/p>\n
Sutrawati told reporters that information about her son\u2019s abduction\nonly became known after she saw news reports and information from Rumah\nZakat that her son had been captured by the Israeli military while en\nroute to Gaza, Palestine on Monday, 18 May local time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThree o\u2019clock yesterday he was still replying to my WhatsApp\nmessages. After that I replied, sis, I am very worried. Be careful\nthere. Lots of prayers, istighfar, whatever it may be, leave it to\nAllah. Always seek guidance from Allah,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She also revealed that her eldest son suffers seasickness and could\nnot undertake the sea journey. Yet even though she had told him not to\njoin, he insisted on going for the humanitarian mission.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat day he said, I am seasick, or something like that. Brother\n(Angga) is seasick. In any case, always remember Allah. I just reminded\nhim to increase his istighfar,\u201d she added, recounting their last\nconversation.<\/p>\n
Earlier she worried that her son would join the humanitarian mission\nas a Rumah Zakat representative carrying medicines and aid to Gaza,\nPalestine by sea. Before the kidnapping incident, she had contacted the\nvictim.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, because my son also always worries about me, he would gradually\ndecide to go if he didn\u2019t want to commit immediately. Perhaps Rumah\nZakat had conveyed it, but because of a mother\u2019s intuition, I have\nalways worried about my child.\u201d<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/makassar-born-activist-among-those-abducted-by-israeli-soldiers-1779546128", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
