GAZA, (PIC)-- The Palestinian NGOs network condemned the assault that occurred to Dror Feiler, the spokesman for the Swedish aid campaign "Ship to Gaza," in Gothenburg.
Feiler was reportedly attacked by unknown assailants on Friday night when he was on his way to the campaign's ship, Estelle, which is currently docked at Erikbergskaj in Gothenburg. The man or men attacked Feiler from behind, knocked him to the ground and kicked him several times before they left the scene.
We in Ship to Gaza have been met with fantastic support during our trip along the whole of the Swedish coast, from Umea to Gothenburg. Everywhere people have flocked to the ship and left donations for our work towards lifting the blockade on the people of the Gaza Strip."
"Unfortunately, we have also been the target of threats in social media, threats which we obviously must take seriously. It is sad that voluntary work being done for human rights, peace and justice can arouse aggression in some people," he added.
