Nous dénonçons l’arraisonnement de la Flotille Global Sumund dans les eaux internationales, mais aussi une violation flagrante des lois et conventions protégeant la sécurité des journalistes dans les zones de conflit et consacrant la liberté de la presse.

Une soirée de solidarité en soutien à Émilien Urbach, journaliste à l’Humanité, arrêté avec les membres de la Global Sumud Flotilla embarqués pour Gaza, et emprisonné arbitrairement par l’armée israélienne, aura lieu lundi 6 octobre à 18h30 au siège de l’Humanité.
