Lucía Muñoz and Alejandra Martínez, the Mallorcans and companions of Reyes Rigo during the flotilla crossing, have expressed a mixture of relief and deep indignation after learning of the agreement reached between Rigo's defense team and the Israeli prosecutor's office.

Reyes Rigo's supporters denounce the accusations as completely unfounded and that the judicial process has been marked by unfair treatment, humiliation, and arbitrary actions, in a context in which Israel seeks to determine the extent of its impunity.

Activists Muñoz and Alejandra Martínez affirm that they "will continue to press until we achieve Reyes' safe return home, in addition to denouncing before the international community the impunity with which the Zionist state operates."
