Dear Friends,

We have unconfirmed reports from al-Jazeera and via text message that Israeli Naval Forces have stopped and boarded the Spirit of Humanity on its way to Gaza. We're not sure if our folks are being arrested yet or not.

Irish Citizens Mairead Corrigan Maguire (Nobel Laureate) and Derek Graham (First Mate, FGM, IPSC) are on board, as is former US Congressperson Cynthia McKinney.
