🚨 URGENT: Scottish flotilla participant Yvonne Ridley is missing after being imprisoned by Israeli forces while on a humanitarian mission to Gaza.
Yvonne Ridley had been held at Ketziot prison on hunger strike and denied her medication.
She was due to be deported to Istanbul but disappeared during the transfer. Her current whereabouts are unknown and we are deeply concerned for her safety.
Take Action NOW by contacting the Foreign Office to demand that the Government intervene immediately to ensure Yvonne’s safe return.
Global Sumud Flotilla Update: We have just set sail again after 2 nights at anchor off the coast of Crete. We will be escorted out of Greek territorial waters by the Greek Navy and escorted through international waters by the Spanish and Italian Navies.
Neither of them will engage militarily if we are attacked but will function as observers and search and rescue. We have reports that the Turkish military have sent 3 advanced drones to keep an eye on us also. This is where we are most vulnerable to Israeli attack but hopefully, their presence will be enough of a deterrent. The plan is to take the shortest route south and heanonstopop to Gaza. Depending on winds, this should take about 5 days. Until then, keep all eyes on Gaza.
This mission is putting serious pressure on our governments to take action and offer more than just empty words. We can feel the world's support behind us.
Onwards to Gaza 🇵🇸✌️ 🇮🇪
The Freedom Flotilla is sailing again:
This time dozens of boats;
Coordinated from 44 countries;
Carrying aid, food, medicine & doctors;
The 18 year siege of Gaza 🇵🇸 to be broken:
Opposing Israel 🇮🇱
Freeing Palestine 🇵🇸
Supporting humanity.
Florida tried to create “Alligator Alcatraz.”
The Miccosukee Tribe stood up and sued. As a result, a federal judge has ordered the closure of Alligator Alcatraz within 60 days.
We need to thank the Miccosukee Nation for their courage and attention to this fight; this victory wouldn’t have happened without their commitment to protecting our environment.
Chris remains in Zionist captivity along with 14 other activists on the flotilla. The call for their freedom must be in tandem with the call for all Palestinians to be free.
We are all human, l children are the same, we all laugh the same we all feel the same pain we all cry the same. These children suffering in Gaza are the same as our little babies, our little children.
Faith is really important to me and remember to love EVERY neighbour.
#FreePalestine #gaza
The next Freedom Flotilla is getting close to Gaza. Please keep sharing their posts. The only thing that stops Israel murdering these brave humanitarians is international attention.
