Emergency demo: let the Freedom Flotilla take aid to Gaza

Via Stop the War:

EMERGENCY DEMONSTRATION
MONDAY 31 MAY, 2.00PM, DOWNING STREET


Four Israeli war ships have surrounded the international flotilla of seven ships bringing aid to Gaza. Satellite signals from the flotilla are being intermittently jammed. The Gaza Freedom Flotilla is 90 miles from the Gaza shores; sailing in international waters where Israel has no jurisdiction.

Once again Israel is breaking international law and committing piracy. It has long threatened this peaceful Flotilla, and is now determined to stop it from reaching its destination. Approximately 700 civilians are on board the seven ships, of whom 28are British citizens.

An emergency demonstration has been called for Monday 31 May, 2.00pm, at Downing Street, demanding that the British government protest against Israel's violation of international law.
