Arrigoni had decided, along with two other international activists for human rights, a Scotsman and an American, to accompany the Palestinians while find food. The Israeli navy has a requirement peschereggio and arrested all present although they were fishing in a sea area in which international agreements recognize the right to fish for the Palestinians.
detained without having committed any crime, was arrested for being expelled by the Israeli government as "persona non grata" is currently in prison in Ramla is about 30 kilometers from Tel Aviv.
Italy will start work immediately for the release of one of its nationals held illegally from another country - said Vittorio Agnoletto, MEP Rifondazione / European Left, this morning he phoned the Italian pacifist -.
Vittorio Arrigoni I announced this morning that began a hunger strike.
inconceivable that a person is seized by the State authorities, pending an expulsion unjustified, given that Arrigoni has never even set foot in Israel, it came directly to Gaza in September, with a ship of peace . The Italian Government can not remain silent in the face of what happened in Palestinian waters.
Today the European Commission will present a parliamentary , to ask Israel to respect international conventions, and in particular the Oslo Accords on the Arab-Israeli conflict, which provide the Palestinian self-rule in Gaza and the possibility of Palestinian fishermen to fish in a sea area of \u200b\u200bup to 20 miles from the coast as well as the safe passage of people in that area.
with Europe, Israel enjoys a special partnership: in this way can not trample the rights of a citizen of Europe, the European institutions without lifting a finger. "
