Vancouver action: Let the Freedom Flotilla sail, break the siege of Gaza
July 04, 2011
The blockade of the Freedom Flotilla II continues
We continue our resolve to break the blockade of the flotilla and Gaza non-violently!
The “Tahrir” is still blocked by Greek authorities from leaving port although all papers are in order. You can see the action on the ground here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylEiPA0B2oQ
The delegates from the U.S. boat have now started an open-ended fast at U.S. Embassy in Athens.
A march in support of the flotilla has been organized by Greek activists who have been protesting the government's austerity measures in Syntagma Square. The march will include a demand on the Greek government to let all of the boats in the Freedom Flotilla 2 sail to Gaza and to free the captain of the U.S. ship, who has been held in jail.
This all suggests that the flotilla continues under a blockade and that we must continue and strengthen our actions.
Time: 12 noon - 1:00 pm
Venue: Greek Consulate
Location: 688 W Hastings St Vancouver, BC
