Nobel laureate Mairead Maguire talks to Al Jazeera from Israeli jail 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.
