RAMALLAH, West Bank: The European Campaign to End the Siege of Gaza said Sunday that Israeli authorities stole dozens of passports belonging to pro-Palestinian activists last week. In a press statement, the Campaign said the Israeli authorities “stole 31 passports of foreign activists who were on board the Freedom Flotilla.”
The organization quoted the activists as saying that the Israeli authorities confiscated their passports when they were kidnapped on the high seas on May 31. They were not handed back the passports on release.
The Campaign feared that the Israeli authorities, mainly the Mossad spy agency, may use the passports to carry out new assassinations. Top Hamas commander Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh was assassinated in a Dubai hotel on Jan. 19 by Israeli agents using forged European passports.
The Campaign called on European countries to follow up on the issue and prevent the misuse of the stolen passports.
