The Palestine Solidarity Campaign is calling an emergency action for Tuesday, June 1 at 4.30pm, Bourke St Mall, Melbourne to protest the Israeli military's illegal boarding and hijacking of boats from the Free Gaza Freedom Flotilla.

Reports from the Free Gaza Movement have indicated that Israeli commandos boarded at least two of the boats and opened fire immediately. Turkish media has reported at least 2 activists have been killed and many more injured. The Free Gaza Movement have reported via their twitter feed that their Israeli attorney has stated up to 10 activists have been killed and that the hijacked boats are being directed to Haifa not Ashdod to avoid media scrutiny.
