UN envoy: Prosecute Israelis behind Gaza flotilla deaths
Richard Falk, UN special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, urged the international community to prosecute those responsible for the death of the Gaza flotilla activists.
"It is crucial that the Israelis who were responsible for the killings and the illegal acts, including the politicians who gave the orders, be prosecuted for their actions," he said in a statement. Falk called the siege on Gaza "a crime against humanity" and said, "The global campaign for boycotts and sanctions on Israel is now a political and moral obligation." (AFP)
