* Bob Lovelace, delegate on board the Marianne/FF3, will be speaking in Vancouver on Nov. 27 - details below *
In light of the extremely deteriorated situation in Palestine, the Israeli oppression and the continued blockade of Gaza, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) recently met in Barcelona to evaluate past actions and plan for future work. The following strategic plan was adopted:
2016: Women's Boat to Gaza will sail to challenge the blockade.
2017: Focus will be on solidarity with the fishermen of Gaza.
2018: a large vessel carrying hundreds of supporters from around the world will sail to challenge the blockade.
In the meeting, which took place on Saturday October 31st and Sunday November 1st, 2015 the following campaigns were represented:
Canadian Boat to Gaza, European Campaign to End the Siege of Gaza, Freedom Flotilla Italy, Palestine Solidarity Alliance (South Africa), Rumbo a Gaza (Spain), Ship to Gaza - Norway & Ship to Gaza - Sweden
This was the first FFC face to face meeting after Freedom Flotilla III, where the Marianne (https://ff3.freedomflotilla.org/) was captured, and all delegates on board detained, by the Israeli occupation forces.
FFC will continue to focus its work on actively challenging the blockade of Gaza, calling upon and pressure governments worldwide to take action against this illegal blockade, and at the same time supporting various forms of non violent struggle adopted by the Palestinian people against oppression and injustice.
We will continue our work until the blockade of Gaza is lifted, the occupation comes to an end and all just rights of the Palestinian people are restored.
