Press release from THE SWEDISH DOCKWORKERS UNION
Stockholm 2010-06-11
Change of dates for the blockade on Israeli ships and cargo to and from Israel
The Swedish Dockworkers Union gave notice on June 3, 2010 that their blockade of Israeli ships and cargo to and from Israel will take place from 15th-24th June. The measure was based on the Israeli attack on the Freedom Flotilla (of which the Swedish Ship to Gaza was a member), an action that was contrary to public international law.
The blockade will now take effect at midnight on
Tuesday 22nd June and last until midnight on Tuesday, June 29, 2010. It
will therefore coincide with the second week of the Norwegian port
workers’ blockade of Israeli ships and cargo that comes into effect on
June 15th and lasts for two weeks.
