The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court — the permanent war crimes court in The Hague, Netherlands — says she has received a
complaint about Israel's 2010 raid on a humanitarian aid flotilla bound
for Gaza, and she will open a preliminary investigation.
The complaint comes from the tiny African state of Comoros, a member of
the court, though Israel is not. Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said she met
Tuesday with lawyers from a Turkish law firm that is representing
Comoros.
Eight Turks and one Turkish-American were killed and several other
pro-Palestinian activists were wounded when Israeli commandos stormed
the ship Mavi Marmara on May 31, 2010. The Mavi Marmari was registered
in Comoros, an archipelago off the African coast near Madagascar with a
population of around 800,000.
