Protest demanding Greece to release Freedom Flotilla II
Channel: Disciple of Christ
Date: 2011-07-04

On July 1st 2011, ( CANADA DAY)
The humanitarian relief boat 
from Canada named the Tarhir 
along with 9 other ships 
forming the Freedom Floatilla II
were illegaly blocked from 
leaving port by Greek authorities.

This is likely due to economic 
and political pressure from
the Israeli, American and 
Canadian governments to 
prevent much needed
humanitarian aid from 
reaching Gaza.

On short notice, humanitarian 
and peace activists mobilized 
and organized demonstrations 
all over the world to send the 
Greek government a loud 
message to release all of
the ships immediately.

This is footage from the 
rally from the Greek 
consulate in Toronto ,CANADA.
