<DIV><FONT face=Arial>FYI, note three action items below. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>CALL TO ACTION: HELP FREE CANADIAN POLITICAL
PRISONERS</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Canadian delegated on board the Canadian Vessel the Tahrir
were illegally intercepted by the Israeli Navy on Friday November 4. The
Israeli Military commandeered the boat and took the boats and their passengers
to Ashdod port. David Heap and Ehab Lotayef have remained in Givon Prison in
Israel ever since. Karen DeVito has been released and deported while the
Canadian Government outrageously demanded that she pays for her own airfare. In
a letter smuggled out of prison, David Heap reports that he was tasered and
beaten by the Israeli military. Other international delegates were also
reportedly beaten as they non-violently refused to be kidnapped from their
ship.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We are demanding that the Canadian Government take
immediate action to secure David and Ehab’s unconditional release. You can
help us and these brave Canadians in a few very simple ways. </FONT></DIV>

Ehab Lotayef.</FONT></DIV>
