According to Ken's facebook updates, the aid workers are now being held by Greek authorities on suspicion of terrorism, even though it was THEY who were abducted from Libya!
Website IrritateTheState.net has more on this developing story:
In an attempt to discredit the works of humanitarian aid efforts on the part of the "Road to Hope" convoy, the "lame-stream" media has attempted to put its own spin on a story some three days in the making. On Wednesday we received word that the convoy's mission was in danger as the result of a financial disagreement between organizers and the ships captain and owners. The Strophades IV then left the port abruptly with 10 members of the convoy on board and 7 Libyans (including officials). As the video shows, the ship left the port without following standard protocol and leaving the rear hatch of the vessel open with one of the convoy's vehicles still on the ramp.
The ship arrived at port today in Greece, and the aid workers have now been accused by the ships captain of being "terrorists" and claiming the vessel was hijacked by the convoy. Currently the aid workers are still on-board and being detained without charges.
The most recent statement from those held on-board states:We have been kidnapped at the Libyan port of Derna, by the Captain and crew of the Strophades IV. The Captain and crew have since left and the Greek authorities are now holding us hostage on board the Strophades IV.A recent Facebook post by Tauqir "Tox" Sharif reads:
Ten of us are being held ...at gunpoint by a... Greek SWAT team, in a small room 8x8ft. We have been told if we move we will be shot. We have requested sleeping facilities, showering facilities, access to telephones/internet and consular assistance - all have been denied. In the last 48 hours we have had one tin of coke and one sandwich to eat. We have had no access to water other than that in the toilets. We have to ask permission to do anything, including using toilets. We have no status. We do not know the nature of the charges we are being held under and feel extremely vulnerable. We ask that everyone please put pressure on the Greek government and demand that they end this nightmare. We want the Greek authorities to release us and allow us safe passage to Libya, where we can join the remaining members of the Road to hope convoy and proceed with humanitarian aid to Palestine.HELP!!! I have been arrested and detained along with the other 9 convoy members on the Boat. We need every1′s help plz contact all media sources and let them know that the greek authorities are trying to charge us for illegally occupying the boat when we were the Kidnapped. We are being treate...d very badly by the greek authorities.We are being held HOSTAGE!
Organizers are asking that people please call and write their local Greek Embassy and demand the immediate release of the aid workers and that they be allowed to return to Libya to reunite with the rest of the convoy and continue on their mission.
Greece is currently under Israely control. What other answers do you need ? And even if they made it to Gaza would it have made any difference ? Everybody "playing good guy" just remembered of Palestine now that they seem more or less an "end-stage" patient. They 're on their own and they know it. In the past Greek merchant ship captains literally risked everything by secretly transfering weapons to the Palestinians to fight the Israelis.The Greek government has done the right think as stated above.As for the captain of the ship he was promised a fee for such a risky mission he will probably never receive.In 1967 in the 7 day war the nations in the vicinity had the Israelis by the @@s.The Rotchilds paid off the right people, as they 've done before, the siege ended and that was the beginning of the end. For more answers ask the Commander in Chief of the U.S. president Obama bin Laden why he's selling so many weapons to both the Israelis and the Lebanese so that those still living to whatever is left of Palestine are virtually locked in.Any more questions ? Instead of loosing yourselves in the details look at the bigger picture.
