The MV Juliano, belonging to the Swedish, Norwegian and Greek initiatives and participating in the international mission “Freedom Flotilla II - Stay Human”, aiming at bringing humanitarian aid and upholding the Palestinians’ human rights, will not be able to sail from Heraklion port and join the French ship “Dignite / Al Karama” in its course towards Gaza. Despite the huge efforts against the impediments devised by the Israeli, Greek and other “willing” sides, the boat is still docked in the Cretan port, since its second flag was also cancelled within a few hours.

The following letter was delivered to the Greek Government on July 12, 2011 making it clear that the people of Gaza seek freedom and respect for their human rights, including their right to lead a dignified life, not charity.
