Several Malaysian activists who are part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and Thousand Madleens to Gaza (FFC-TMTG) were reported to be roughed up and physically abused during and after the interception by the Israeli military.

Humanitarian Care Malaysia (MyCare) chief executive officer Kamarul Zaman Shaharul Anwar said that a Legal Centre for Arab Minority Rights (Aadalah) lawyer said that the activists were kicked, slapped, and aggressively held, and that they received harsh treatment similar to that of the Global Sumud Flotilla participants
