Ankara: A Turkish activist and her one-year-old baby have returned home after being released by Israeli authorities following the deadly raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.
They were among the first Turks returning from Israel after the flotilla was seized by Israeli commandos.
Nilufer Cetin told reporters Tuesday she agreed to be extradited from Israel after being warned that jail conditions would be "too harsh" for the baby.
Cetin and her son, Kaan Turker, were on the Turkish-flagged Mavi Marmara ship. She said the two were hiding in their cabin's bathroom during the raid.
Her husband Ekrem Cetin is the ship's engineer and was still in Israeli custody Tuesday.
Turkey said it is sending three planes to carry back Turkish activists from Israel.
