"A group of activists blocked the entrance to Downing Street and the Foreign Office in London yesterday. The group were there for over 5 hours, in solidarity with the freedom flotilla and calling for the UK government to stand up to Israel and stop the blockade of Gaza. An emergency demo has been called today at 2pm at Downing St."
PROTEST TODAY OUTSIDE THE FOREIGN OFFICE, WHITEHALL, AT 11am
THEN MOVE TO DOWNING STREET - PROTEST FROM 2-4pm
The Freedom Flotilla, carrying over 10,000 tons of humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza strip, is currently being confronted by Israeli warships- despite being in international waters. This is an urgent request for help on behalf of all the brave people aboard that ship as well as those imprisoned in Gaza:
- Call the emergency 24hr assistance for British nationals abroad line: 020 7008 1500. Our Government has a duty to protect its citizens' interests, yet has so far remained conspicuously quiet.
- Join the emergency protest today (MONDAY) from 2pm outside Downing Street (nearest tube: Westminster). We have to pressure our Government to act and not allow this flagrant violation of International Law to go unnoticed.
The situation aboard the Freedom Flotilla will probably change by the time you read this message, but the latest news we had was that all passengers aboard the six-ship flotilla were advised to put on their life-jackets as an Israeli plane flew over them and Israeli ships flanked them. It is of critical importance that we stand in solidarity with those risking everything for a just, moral and noble cause.
