(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - American activists took to Twitter on Friday to say they were intercepted by the Greek coast guard just moments after they left Perama port near Athens.
Greece's Civil Protection Ministry said on Friday that the coast guard had been ordered to take “all appropriate measures” to bar Gaza-bound Greek and international ships from leaving Greece's ports.
The ban comes as organizers of the humanitarian aid flotilla to the Gaza Strip say the Tel Aviv regime is making Greece halt the convoy.
The flotilla members also say Israel has attempted to stop them by sabotaging the convoy. They said a joint Greek, Swedish and Norwegian boat was found sabotaged with serious damage to its propeller.
The flotilla activists suspect that Israeli agents were responsible for the damage.
