Mr. Mohammed Shafiq,
Chief Executive of the Ramadhan Foundation comments:
“I strongly condemn
the Israeli Government for the killing of innocent aid activists in the
Gaza Flotilla attack, these ships were operating in international water
and on a journey to supply desperately needed aid and medicine for the
Gazan people who have suffered from an economic blockade for many
years. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families
as they come to terms with their loss.
We call on the
International community to come together to demand that Israel is held
responsible for murdering innocent people and appropriate action from
taken by the United Nations for this breach of international law. If
Israel claims to be a western democracy but acts like a dictatorship
then these murders are the actions of a deplorable Government that
clearly has no respect for human life.
We call on the UK
Government to do what it can to identify any British citizens on the
Ship and take necessary actions to bring them home safely, there should
be an international inquiry supported with tough sanctions for Israel to
understand it cannot kill innocent people and get away with it.
We call on just
people around the world to stand up and demonstrate their abhorrence for
these murderous acts. Finally its time for the siege and blockade for
Gaza to be lifted.”
