"06/01/2010 Egyptian forces shot and wounded at least two Palestinians on Wednesday during a violent protest on the Egypt-Gaza border against clashes between the Egyptian security forces on Wednesday and members of a convoy led by left-wing British politician George Galloway. The convoy was trying to take relief supplies to Palestinians in the Gaza strip.
Egyptian state television said that gunfire from the Gaza Strip killed an Egyptian border guard. However, the Palestinians deny that the shootings took place from their side.
Some 520 activists belonging to the convoy broke down the gate at the port in El-Arish to protest the Egyptian decision to ship some of the goods through the occupied territories.....
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu telephoned his Egyptian counterpart Ahmed Aboul Gheit several times Tuesday night and urged him to release members of an aid convoy blocked at El-Arish following violent clashes. Talks in which Galloway and a delegation of Turkish MPs sought to change the Egyptian's minds proved unsuccessful.....
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum on Wednesday strongly denounced the Egyptian authorities for assaulting Viva Palestina activists in Al-Arish seaport, saying that this attack confirmed that there is participation in the blockade on the Gaza Strip and attempt to prevent any help extended to its people.
In a press statement to the Palestinian information center (PIC), spokesman Barhoum said that this savage attack on the aid convoy activists affirmed that there are no Egyptian intentions to break the siege or alleviate the suffering of one and a half million Palestinians besieged in Gaza.....
Spokesman Beirawi pointed out that the Egyptian authorities brought cars full of large quantities of stones to use them against the activists.The spokesman appealed to the free people of the world to intervene to prevent the Egyptian attacks on the convoy and called on the Egyptian authorities to stop this madness.....
For his part, Ali Abu Sukkar, a member of the convoy, noted that the Egyptian authorities refused unjustifiably to allow into Gaza the most important aid vehicles which are loaded with medicines and medical equipment, adding the policemen deliberately damaged several cars of the convoy, which reflected the level of hatred and insistence on not helping Gaza people......
Meanwhile, an alliance of solidarity with the Palestinian people in Europe has called for demonstrations in front of the Egyptian embassies in a number of European capitals to protest the Egyptian security authorities' assault on the international aid convoy Lifeline-3.....
In Istanbul, thousands of protesters staged a demonstration to condemn the Egyptian police crackdown on the Gaza-bound aid convoy. The protestors marched towards the Egyptian Consulate in the Turkish capital and held a picture of assassinated Hezbollah military commander Imad Moghniyeh (Haj Redwan) and a picture titled "the picture of betrayal", showing Egyptian President Hosni Muabark shaking hands with former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni."
