That is good news that she is released. Any word on the others? Have they been released also?
Israel abducts human rights activists - Magda Hassan - 07-07-2009
The below would indicate that not everyone has been released.It arrived this morning in my in box. Mairead Maguire is being denied her medicine by the Israeli prison authorities.
Quote:From the Free Gaza Movement:
'On Tuesday, June 30 the Israeli Navy forcibly boarded our boat, SPIRIT OF HUMANITY, confiscating the ship and abducting 21 human rights workers and journalists, including Nobel laureate Mairead Maguire and former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney.' Detailed report below.
This is piracy on the high seas. Not a word of protest from Obama on the kidnapping of a US citizen and former Congresswoman.
Now the Israeli prison guards are denying the right for Mairead to access her medicine. This could be life threatening.
Mairead is fasting, not just for her friends incarcerated along with her, but for the 11,000 Palestinians also thrown into jail, many without benefit of trial.
Hear her eloquent interview with Al Jazeera.

Please write not only to the Israeli authorities but also to your own governments--local and national. If you know people in the media, make sure that they receive this!
The FGM also needs funds urgently.
