Zardari condemns Israel for aid ship brutality
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan strongly condemned the gross violation of human rights and the use of force by Israeli forces against a humanitarian Mission that was embarked on delivering humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people in Gaza.At least 20 foreign activists were killed early Monday, after the navy stormed a flotilla of six ships bound for the Gaza Strip with aid.
"The killing of members of this humanitarian mission, which also included women, is brutal, inhuman and constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and norms," Foreign office spokesman here said.
The Government of Pakistan is seriously concerned over the well being and whereabouts of the Pakistani citizens and media persons including Syed Talat Hussain and Raza Mahmood Agha who were on board the Flotilla bound for Gaza, he said.
"The Foreign Ministry is in constant touch with its Missions in the region to ascertain the well-being of our nationals," he said.
