Israeli activists from Gaza-bound ship released on bail

PanARMENIAN.Net - Three Israeli activists from the Gaza-bound ship Estelle were released on NIS 50,000 bail Monday, Oct 22, after spending two days in police custody, The Jerusalem Post reported.

They were arrested Saturday along with 27 pro-Palestinian foreign activists after they failed to break Israel’s naval blockade on Gaza by defying navy orders to halt their 53- meter Swedish vessel sailing under a Finish flag.

Out of the 27 foreign activists on board the Estelle, 11 were from Sweden, four from Norway, two from Finland, five from Greece, three from Spain and one each from Canada and Italy. As of Sunday night, 10 had been deported.
