Mon31May - LONDON - Downing Street-Gaza Convoy attack

[outsider]

EMERGENCY DEMONSTRATION MONDAY 31 MAY 2.00PM DOWNING STREET Four Israeli war ships have surrounded the international flotilla of seven ships bringing aid to Gaza. Satellite signals from the flotilla are being intermittently jammed. The Gaza Freedom Flotilla is 90 miles from the Gaza shores; sailing in international waters where Israel has no jurisdiction. Once again Israel is breaking international law and committing piracy. It has long threatened this peaceful Flotilla, and is now determined to stop it from reaching its destination. Approximately 700 civilians are on board the seven ships, of whom 28 are British citizens. An emergency demonstration has been called for Monday 31 May, 2.00pm, at Downing Street, demanding that the British government protest against Israel's violation of international law.

flotilla attack: downing street demo already begun

by rikki, Indymedia UK, 31 May 2010


there was a call-out for an 11am demo at the foreign office in response to the israeli lethal attack on the freedom flotilla in international waters. however as those offices are all closed, activists have already moved to downing street and are calling out for support before the '(couldn't) stop the war coalition' protest called for 2pm

as there are simply no staff at the foreign office, protestors have moved up to downing street, a two minute walk away, and at 11.15 there were already at least 30 people gathered outside the gates.

(C)STWC have called a protest at 2pm which they will probably steward into the 'freedom zone' on the opposite side of the road, but at present protestors are holding the space directly outside the gates and are asking for support.

many are already known to be on their way.
