Al Jazeera, Jul 5, 2009

Fourteen people remain in custody after an aid ship bound for Gaza was seized by the Israeli navy on Tuesday. Among them are a nobel peace prize winner, and two Al Jazeera journalists. The Free Gaza movement sent the ship loaded with humanitarian supplies from Cyprus, in defiance of Israel's crippling 2-year blockade. Mairead Maguire, human rights worker and Nobel Peace Prize winner spoke to us from inside Tel Aviv's Ramla Givon high security prison.
