Posted by Editor on 2nd July 2009 at 04:39 PM British prisoners report ill treatment in Israeli jail
2nd July 2009
A message smuggled out of the Ramla Givon prison in an email from members of the solidarity boat crew arrested earlier this week has accused the Israeli authorities of maltreatment and keeping them in poor conditions.
Amongst those being held is Adie Mormech, 30, from Rusholme in Manchester.
21 solidarity activists on board the FreeGaza boat Spirit of Humanity were taken prisoner by the Israeli navy after they attempted to take humanitarian aid to Gaza from Cyprus on Monday. Their boat was surrounded by 6 Israeli warships and the crew and passengers forcibly removed. Information received by former USCongresswoman Cynthia McKinney suggests that two of the women prisoners have already been released.
All of the prisoners have stressed that although their fate has become the subject of an international news story, that of the 11,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails has not been given the same attention. They also reiterate that their fate is only partof the wider story of the Israeli blockade on Gaza.
The full text of the email received by British supporters at around noon on Thursday 2nd July is as follows:
“sending this fortuitously, could pass this on to relevant contacts pls thx 02/06/09 Now at Ramla prison, Givon, separated from arab and aljazeera passengers, after being kidnapped by Israeli special forces supported by 6 navy gunships in Palestinian waters 18 miles off the Gaza coast. Unaware of the status of 2 Palestinian Israeli citizens separated on arrest. 4 British nationals including the Captain of the Spirit of Humanity Denis Healey and Adie Mormech, Ishmahil Blagrove and Fathi Jaouadi are being held in the high security Ramla Givon prison where they are also holding former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney who was also on board the boat. Conditions at the prison are appalling, 14-20 to a cell measuring 7m by 7m. Nobel
Laureate Mairead McGuire forcibly removed in handcuffs and status unknown. Please raise as much awareness as possible of this injustice.”

When Palestine is recognised by the international community and the UN as a sovereign state, then " Arrested in Palestinian waters" will mean something, until then, well..... One would assume that the vessel was stopped to ensure that no contraband was on board.

Richard Carvath wants us to "support" Israel in increasing their lands in the middle east in line with God's covenant for them. I think he sees himself as the new Lionheart and wants to lead us on a crusade whether we want to go or not! |
Comment by Guest 3rd July 2009
Ill give you a tip, its better to know what you’re talking about before you misinform the general public about your own misguided political beliefs. It never fails to amaze me that how many jump on the George Galloway band wagon you must stop listening to him. |

Six gunships to stop one wooden boat. What a bunch of heroes these guys are! If it was Iran who had kidnapped these aid workers from international waters, can you imagine the uproar that would ensue amongst the meeja presstitutes. We would have wall-to-wall "experts" and gubment spokespeople issuing threats, making demands and generally being as bellicose as hell. |

No sympathy for them they should have goggled the prisons accommodations before setting sail, its just a publicity stunt why didn’t they just send them. |
Comment by Guest 3rd July 2009
Boycott and isolate the Israeli´s, send them a global message that such behaviour is strongly condemned. They are a rogue and viscious tribe which should be broken up into a million pieces and cast into the sea for all eternity. |

"Not one word from Mr. Obama. Former Congresswoman McKinney is African Am. Where Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson????"
This is really racist. What does the fact that McKinney is African American has to do with anything? I would expect President Obama to act for any American. Where do you get off? |

such ill treatment that they are able to send emails and give interviews from their cells. What a sham :) btw the two israeli palestineans are free. |
Comment by Guest 2nd July 2009
Arrested in Palestinian waters, so the Israeli forces where in volilation of another countries territory. Is that not an act of war? Funny to see just how useless Obama is again when it comes to the protection of American people when it comes to Israeli interests. For these simple reasons they can never be considered, for even a second, in helping broker a peace agreement between them. If Obama was a man for change and peace just stop signing the cheques to Israel and you will see how quick they will start to negotiate more fairly. The only thing Israel understands is money and that has been their God, only that do they value and worship. |
