Ireland calls on Israel to free activists

Ireland is urging Israel to quickly release international activists who were captured while attempting to breach Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Israel's Navy intercepted two boats bound for Gaza on Friday. Of the 27 people on board, 19 remained in Israeli custody Thursday. Israeli officials said Thursday that the activists refused to sign waivers that would have allowed them to leave sooner, and they are being deported on available flights. (AP)
