PROTEST AT GREEK EMBASSY AT 12.30 TODAY MONDAY 04 JULY



Protest against complicity with Israel! Let the Flotilla go!!

Today at 12:30pm-2pm on 04 July 2011 at Embassy of Greece, 1 Upper Pembroke Street, Dublin, Ireland.

The Irish Anti War Movement is supporting this emergency protest called to highlight the complicity of the Greek Government in the siege of Gaza.

Last Friday the Greek Government prevented the sailing of ships as part of Freedom Flotilla II. The Greek Coastguard stopped the American ship 'The Audacity of Hope' at gunpoint five miles out to sea and forced it to return to port. The Captain of the ship was arrested and is still in custody. Passengers have commenced a protest fast outside the Israeli Embassy in Athens.
It seems the illegal and immoral siege of Gaza now extends roght across the Meditteranean Sea to Greece. It is shameful that the Greek Government should bow to Israeli, and possibly EU/IMF and US pressure, and be complicit in the continued subjugation of the Palestinian people.

Please come to the lunchtime protest today - even for a short time.
