Israel to Release and Deport Two Gaza Flotilla Organizers

Israel is expected to release and deport Saif Abu Kshk and Tiago Abelha, two organizers of the Gaza flotilla who were arrested when the latest flotilla was thwarted. Flotilla organizations stated: "We welcome the imminent release of Saif and Tiago from Israeli captivity. Their release is a victory against Israel's attempt to criminalize the flotilla movement and to tarnish the solidarity with Palestine. Millions of Palestinians living under occupation and ten thousand Palestinians imprisoned in Israel do not receive the support that Tiago and Saif have received. For their sake, we continue."
