FOUNDATION CALLS ON INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO CONDEMN ISRAELI CRIMINAL ACT

KUALA LUMPUR, May 18 (Bernama) -- The Kuala Lumpur Foundation to Criminalise
War (KLFCW) has called on the international community to condemn Israel's naval
forces which attacked a humanitarian vessel to Gaza.

Its secretary-general, Dr Yaacob Hussain Merican, said the organisation also
urged the people to take appropriate measures to bring the attackers and the
Israeli regime to justice.

In a statement here Wednesday, he said KLFCW condemned and denounced the
naval forces over the attack on the unarmed humanitarian vessel, 'The Spirit of
Rachel Corrie' (also known as the MV Finch) on May 16.

At the time, the vessel was sending aid to the people in Gaza, he said,
adding that it was in international waters when the naval forces fired shots in
its direction.
