Kiwi Activist Detained: July 31 2018

New Zealand Union leader Mike Treen was attacked and unlawfully detained by the Israeli military yesterday morning. He and other international campaigners were aboard a ship, the Al Awda, filled with medicine that they were taking straight to Gaza. They had no plans to stop in Israel. Mike’s union, Unite, is calling on the New Zealand government to demand that Israeli authorities release him and the other campaigners. Mary-Margaret spoke to the union’s National Secretary, Gerard Hehir.
