Nearly a day after the detention of former US lawmaker Cynthia
McKinney by Israeli forces, Washington has yet to make a reaction.
Israeli Navy detained former US congresswoman and Nobel Prize laureate
Cynthia McKinney and twenty other human rights activists on board a
relief boat outside Israel's territorial waters on Tuesday as they
were heading to Gaza on a humanitarian mission.
Tel Aviv claims the boat was trying to break Israel's two-year siege
on Gaza.
Ms McKinney -- the 2008 Green Party nominee for President of the
United States-- has accused Tel Aviv of violating the international
law by seizing an aid vessel in international waters.
"This is an outrageous violation of international law against us. Our
boat was not in Israeli waters, and we were on a human rights mission
to the Gaza Strip," McKinney said in a statement.
"We are asking the international community to demand our release so we
can continue our journey," she added.
"My wife and I are very concerned about her safety," Cynthia's father
told Press TV in a phone call.
Bill McKinney said that the US government should support Cynthia's
message and added, "Her major concern is human."
Green Party leaders have called on the White House and the US State
Department to intervene and demand the immediate release of all the
activists.
On Monday, the International Committee of the Red Cross warned of dire
humanitarian situation in Gaza, saying 1.5 million Palestinians living
in the coastal sliver are 'trapped in despair' because of the
continuing Israeli blockade on the territory.
Since June 2007, when Israel imposed a blockade on the territory, no
raw material has entered Gaza, stalling any attempt to rebuild the
strip.
According to the humanitarian agency report, seriously ill patients
were not receiving the treatment they needed and thousands of Gazans
whose homes were destroyed during Israel's three-week Christmas war
were still without shelter.
