Israel to deport Rachel Corrie Gaza activists
Saturday, June 5, 2010
The 11 campaigners and eight crew have signed deportation papers and most will be flown out on Sunday, Israel's interior ministry said.
Security forces boarded the Irish-owned ship, MV Rachel Corrie, on Saturday.
The action came days after Israeli forces killed nine activists who were also attempting to break the blockade.
Israel has faced an international outcry over the incident, which has also soured relations with Turkey because most of the dead were Turkish.
But Israel has repeatedly defended its actions, saying its commandos acted in self defence.
