Gaza-london, July 2, ( Pal Telegraph) - The European campaign to end the siege on Gaza (ECESG) called today for international human rights organizations and lobbying groups to organize large protests in front of Israeli embassies across Europe in solidarity with activists of Freegaza Movement. Activists onboard the humanitarian boat were kidnapped by Israeli naval forces while they were sailing in a peaceful mission to end the siege. The call aims at creating factual movements on the ground to release "the spirit of humanity" activists

Passengers included Noble Laureate Mairead Maguire and a former U.S. congressperson, Cynthia McKinney. The vessel was forcibly taken to one of the Israeli seaports by force by Israeli Naval boats.

Maguire, winner of a Noble Peace Prize was taken against her will and isolated from the rest of the team. Two activists have been released, however, the rest are in Israeli detention in Ramallah. The exemplary punishment against the activists is a small glimpse of what's happening to 11,000 Palestinians in Israeli jails.

ECESG is organizing today a number of protests in various European countries to call on releasing the kidnapped peace activists. Protests will be held in Demnark, Italy, Holland and Sweden.
