End the blockade of Gaza says John McDonnell

1st June 2010

Labour Leadership Candidate, John McDonnell, has called upon the other Labour leadership contenders to support a joint statement condemning the Israeli attack on the aid flotilla and to call for the immediate lifting of the blockade of Gaza.

John said

“After this brutal act of aggression by Israeli forces I am asking all the Labour leadership candidates to support a joint statement condemning the Israeli attack and calling for the blockade on Gaza to be lifted immediately.

“At this critical time it is vitally important that the Labour Party is seen to be united in its condemnation of this brutal assault and in supporting the people of Gaza secure the aid and humanitarian assistance they desperately need by ensuring the blockade is lifted.”

The LRC will also be taking part in the demonstration on 5th June in London - assemble 1:30pm at 10 Downing Street
