I've received a report via e-mail that Cynthia Mckinney and a group of activists, who were being held by the Israeli government, have been released. I am awaiting more information regarding this. Hopefully some media outlets will report the veracity of this soon.

Cynthia McKinney and 20 Others Inexplicably Imprisoned By The Israeli Government
The Israeli government is reportedly holding a group of activists prisoner. Among the group is Cynthia Mckinney, and Irish peace activist & Nobel Laureate, Mairead Maguire. The activists we're on a mission to bring aid to Gaza, when their ship- which was reportedly in international waters- was overtaken by the Israeli military and seized. The 21 member group's ship was then towed to the Israeli port of Ashdod; and the activists who were aboard were jailed.
Currently 19 of the 21 activists (including McKinney and Maguire) are still imprisoned.
McKinney reportedly refused to sign a deportation order that states that she violated an Israeli blockade. The exact charges against the activists are still unclear.
I received this information via e-mail. So far the mainstream press has neglected to give attention to this story.
