Dear Friends,

I just got off the phone with Alisa Green of the US embassy in Tel Aviv. 
She told me that Cynthia refused to sign the deportation. The order 
states that she violated the Israeli blockade.  The embassy told me that 
Israeli law requires that inmates that refuse to sign a deportation must 
be kept in jail for 3 days before they are sent away.  It will be Sunday 
before we know when and if she will leave Israel.

    One of Cynthia's friends received a phone call from Ramle prison.
    The incarcerated prisoners are calling themselves "Free Gaza 21" --
    even though Huwaida and Lubna have been released. Below is Cynthia's
    statement;

    We were in international waters on a boat delivering humanitarian
    aid to people in Gaza when the Israeli Navy ships surrounded us and
    illegally threatened us, dismantled our navigation equipment,
    boarded and confiscated the ship.

    All of us on board were then taken off the ship and into custody,
    and brought into Israel and imprisoned. Immigration officials in
    Israel said they did not want to keep us, but we remain imprisoned.
    State Department and White House officials have not effected our
    release or taken a strong public stance to condemn the illegal
    actions of the Israeli Navy of enforcing a blockade of humanitarian
    assistance to the Palestinians of Gaza, a blockade that has been
    condemned by President Obama.
