website of the committee for a workers' international, CWI Gaza Flotilla activists abducted in international waters and illegally
held for 7 days by the Israeli state
CWI Reporters
Officials in the office of the President of the European Union have
confirmed that Paul Murphy, Socialist Party MEP for Dublin, and the
other activists imprisoned by Israel for the past week have now been
released and are currently travelling back to Ireland. They will arrive
in Dublin airport at approximately 15:45 local time. All mobile phones
and computers belonging to the activists were confiscated by the Israeli
army.
Paul will be giving a press conference when he arrives in Dublin,
explaining the ill treatment that he and the other activists have faced
from the Israeli state. Paul stresses that the treatment of the flotilla
activists is only a fraction, though wholly indicative, of the
abhorrent, vicious and daily repression that the Palestinian people
suffer at the hands of the Israeli regime.
