US Boat Hunger Strike in Athens: Gaza flotilla: We still plan to breach blockade
Activists who have begun a fast hold banners as they sit outside the U.S. embassy in Athens, Greece, Sunday, July 3, 2011. Organizers of a Gaza-bound flotilla said Sunday they have not abandoned their plans to breach Israel's sea blockade of the territory despite a Greek government ban on their vessels leaving Greek ports. The campaign suffered a major setback when Greece announced its restrictions on Friday, and authorities arrested the captain of a boat carrying American activists that tried to leave Greece without permission.
