After a two hour standoff at sea, the U.S. Boat to Gaza - The Audacity of
Hope - was seized by the Greek Coast Guard and forced to return to the port
of Piraeus under military escort. The boat’s captain has been put in jail,
charged with disturbing sea traffic--which includes endangering the lives of
those on the ships-- and disobeying a police order to remain at dock. The
crew is being detained on the boat, which is being held at a military dock
just outside Athens. Most of the 36 passengers remain on the ship in
solidarity with the captain and crew

Athens, Greece235 years after the American colonies declared independence
from Britain, the passengers on the U.S. Boat to Gaza call for a new
American Declaration of Independence, this time from Israel.
The passengers issued their call from the decks of the U.S.-flagged boat,
The Audacity of Hope, which is currently confined to a Greek military pier
near Athens, while its captain sits in jail.
