Vanushi Walters to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: What consideration, if any, has the Government given to launching or supporting an independent investigation into the treatment of the New Zealand citizens who participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla and were detained in May 2026, particularly in light of government action reportedly initiated by Australia, France, Spain, Malaysia and Türkiye in response to similar allegations made by their own nationals?
