Hanifa humanisa gave her blessing to her son, journalist thoudy badai, to join the humanitarian global sumud flotilla mission to gaza despite the risks.
In the early hours of 13 may 2026, hanifa exchanged whatsapp messages with thoudy from bandung. She asked about her son's confidence as he prepared to sail from marmaris, turkey, with hundreds of international volunteers.
Thoudy replied with 80 percent conviction and said he would follow his mother's decision. Hanifa then approved after hearing about the risks and her son's determination.
On 18 may 2026, the ozgurluk ship carrying thoudy was hijacked by israeli forces in waters near cyprus. The indonesian government reported five indonesian nationals detained, including thoudy, while four others remain sailing in vulnerable conditions.
