Yogyakarta, Java Island (ANTARA News) - Around 1,000 members of Hizbut Tahrir (HTI) here, Sunday, staged a rally protesting the Israeli aggression on Gaza-bound Freedom Flotilla carrying humanitarian assistance for Palestinians.
"We condemn strongly the brutal attack which violated the human rights," Rosyid Supriyadi, chairman of the Yogyakarta chapter of HTI, said.
Israel`s cruelty must be stopped as it has not only been done against the ship convey but also the Palestinian people over the past three years by imposing blockage in Gaza.
He called on all Muslim-majority countries` leaders to unite and stop the Israeli aggression on Palestine.
Meanwhile, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, in his speech at the opening of a Qur`an Recital contest in Bengkulu (Sumatra) on Saturday evening, said Indonesia strongly rejected any party`s inhumane and unjust acts against the Palestinian people.
The President on the occasion reaffirmed Indonesia`s commitment to supporting Palestinian independence.
"I wish to reaffirm here that our country will keep pushing for the creation of peace in the Middle East. We firmly reject any party`s inhuman or unjust acts against the people of Palestine," he said.
He said the establishment of an independent and sovereign state of Palestine was the ideal and hope of all Muslims in the world.
"It is the hope and ideal of all Muslims in the world to be able to conduct prayers freely and peacefully at the Al Aqsa Mosque as freely and peacefully as when we pray at the Haram Mosque in Mecca and Nabawi Mosque in Madina," he said.
An outraged world continues to condemn Israel`s deadly attack on a convoy of aid-carrying ships headed to Gaza that killed 19 people and injured tens of others, including two Indonesians, aboard the "MV Mavi Marmara" early Monday (May 31).
The Freedom Flotilla carried more than 10,000 tons of relief and developmental aid to Gaza, along with roughly 700 participants from more than 30 countries, among them volunteers from Indonesia (12 people), South Africa, Algeria, Turkey, Macedonia, Pakistan, Yemen, Kosovo, the UK and US and Kuwait - and an exiled former archbishop of Jerusalem who currently lives in the Vatican.
