She was taken into custody along with twenty others, including former US Congress member Cynthia McKinney, when the Israeli military boarded their ship in international waters as it tried to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Israeli forces boarded the ship and towed it to the Israeli port of Ashdod. The 21 activists on board include former Congressmember and presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney and the Irish peace activist and Nobel laureate Mairead Maguire. Huwaida Arraf and Lubna Masarwa were released while the other 19 remain in detention. Mairead Maguire joins us on the line from her jail cell.
