“If the Flotilla is intercepted, I will go on hunger strike”: Aziz Rhali

In an open letter published on his Facebook page, Aziz Rhali, a Moroccan health activist and member of the People's Health Movement, denounced that there is information that Israel is preparing to intercept the Global Sumud Flotilla, taking the crew captive to prevent humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza.

In his letter, he said, “For my part, I strongly affirm that I will begin an indefinite hunger strike from the moment of interception until the release of all volunteers, without exception.”

His letter ends with a call to action:

“I call on all free people, all human rights organizations, all independent media outlets, and anyone with a voice or a pen to rise up now against this aggression.”

Here is the full text of the letter and his call to action.
