SadaNews - The General Union of the Palestinian Community in Sweden condemned, in a statement issued today Thursday, in the strongest terms, the attack described as "barbaric" by Israeli occupying forces against the Freedom Flotilla heading to break the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip.

The union added: "This attack is a new crime added to the occupation's record of serious violations of international law and humanitarian law, and it underscores its insistence on continuing its policy of siege, starvation, and aggression."

In its statement, the union affirmed, "Our full solidarity with our people in the Gaza Strip, and with all free people in the world who risk their lives to support the Palestinian right."

The Palestinian community union called on the international community, the European Union, and the Swedish government to take immediate and serious action to stop these repeated attacks and to lift the illegal siege on Gaza.

The union also stated in the statement: "Our demand for holding the Israeli occupation accountable for its crimes against international activists, and ensuring the freedom of movement for humanitarian ships and securing their safety, along with the food and medicine they carry.
4- Our affirmation that the siege is a collective crime, and that the Palestinian people will not give up their right to freedom and dignity, and will remain steadfast in the face of aggression."
